Loung Ung - "First They Killed My Father"
Loung Ung: Activist, Author, Lecturer is a survivor of the killing fields of Cambodia, one of the bloodiest episodes of the twentieth century. Some two million Cambodians—out of a population of just seven million—died at the hands of the infamous Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime. Loung is now a featured speaker on Cambodia, child soldiers, women and war, domestic violence, and landmines. This is a short video version of her story that will bring quiet reflection to your day.

Wow, great video. I really resonated with her message and the importance of distinguishing between anger and hate. Thanks for sharing this.

Yes, this is what a call "A Visit With The Human Condition". We all carry within us the forces of good and evil, ying & yang, black and white. And yet most of life is shades of grey.
Thanks for watching... please come back again soon.

Astounding. To watch something like this is hard to soak in but to know something actually lived this is almost uncomprehensible.
Thanks for enlightening us.
