Dear Fellow Survivors

In 2021, half way through recording the podcast episodes, I asked my father a very important question: If you had the opportunity to talk to all your fellow survivors of the Khmer Rouge, what would you say?

I learned the magical healing power of storytelling as I witnessed my father’s healing journey through recording every Sunday and often wondered: How many more Khmer Rouge survivors can we heal, with the time we have left?

Recognizing that the 2nd-Generation children of refugees are limited in starting the healing process with their parents, I decided that the most effective way to start the conversation for the Khmer Rouge survivors would be if they heard the story directly from someone who had lived it with them. Someone like Robert. Someone like… a fellow survivor.

It is my great honor to present to you the most powerful piece of content Robert and I have ever released.
