Summary
This film shows how one Khmer Rouge child soldier confronts his childhood experiences during Cambodia's darkest hour. Sayon Soeun was abducted at the age of six and subsequently exploited by the Khmer Rouge, his family life and education stolen. His recovery and redemption from unimaginable evil entails his transition from an orphanage in a refugee camp to adoption by a loving American family. After more than 35 years, he recently made contact with brothers and a sister he assumed were dead. The documentary follows his journey to heal himself by forgiving the family that let him slip away and forgiving himself for his complicity as a Khmer Rouge child soldier.
