FLASHBACKS
I have always been interested in knowing my parents story, how we managed to survive the Khmer Rouge, and our miraculous journey to the United States. In 2003 I started recording interviews with my parents to ask them questions about our past. With my father’s passing these interviews have become even more cherished memories.
Over a decade has passed since I’ve listened to these interviews, but they still seem like yesterday since we sat around the table talking about what life was like for them when they were growing up. Through these conversations I get a glimpse of Cambodia’s political history; from French rule, independence, civil war, to finally, the Khmer Rouge. In listening back, there are many gaps to these stories, which I am seeking to fill during my time in Cambodia. These flashback stories are a glimpse into our family history
