- Absolutely beautiful
Thank you for sharing this documentary and what a beautiful thing to have when your mom passes to share with your kids someday. I need to also do this with my Vietnamese refugee father someday. Wow, wow, wow! What a heartfelt, painful podcast

A beautifully told, family history that gives us a better understanding of wider historical events. The intimate story of one brave family’s journey through war, the refugee experience, immigration, acceptance, fitting in, and then the search for, and understanding of roots and the cost of personal sacrifice is deeply moving, inspirational, and unforgettable. Thank you for sharing your story.

The podcast has spurred me to be more intentional about uncovering that journey before me, expressing love, and sharing connection in the present.

Perhaps about her own experience of travelling to Cambodia and stories from her dad. Thanks Lisa for sharing the tale …. You couldn’t hav... more
