New Year Baby, by Socheata Poeuv
Another wonderful independent film, this documentary follows the Cambodian-American Poeuv family. When daughter/filmmaker, Socheata, discovers that her older sisters are actually her cousins and her older brother is really a half-brother, she sets out to unravel the puzzle of her patchwork family.
Socheata convinces her parents and brother to accompany her on a trip to Cambodia, revisiting old friends and families, and helping her understand the devastation that the Khmer Rouge brought to Cambodia and how her parents survived the forced labour camps.
Directed by Charles Vogel, produced by Broken English Productions
