Wanderings

- After surviving 30 years of war and being refugees for 15 years, 380 000 Cambodians were repatriated in 1992 to their homeland from the Thai borders refugee camps. Some of them were resettled in villages built for them by the United Nations.
How can a society rebuild itself after such a traumatic scattering ? Those who never left were suspicious and saw the massive arrival of these exiled families as a threat to their land and equilibrium. The villagers gave to these former refugees a nickname still used today: The wanderers.
In a world of 26 millions of displaced people, the Wanderers try in their own way - slowly but surely - to survive and to reintegrate while fighting for their children’s future. This film is a tribute to their resiliency.

People might not realize how long it takes to heal emotionally and mentally from this nightmare. As a Cambodian genocide survivor from Svay Sisophon, this documentary hits home.
Thank you for this documentary . It put tears in my eyes. I wish for you peace and happiness. My words fall short of what I am trying to convey, I am humbled.
I were past of lost the souls also, I were lucky to be able to make it to Canada, my heart really breaks seeing this history .Live life and never complain of anything,I felt no difference then these people .I just got a blessed , I would like wishing for all of them have a many blessings healthy happiness bright success .
Thanks so much for the amazing documents.
I was a Khmer refugee too.. first living in camp 07, khao i dang, sra keo, mairut, bata ang, philllipines, and finally, California..
As a Cambodian's refugee, watching this documentary reminded me how lucky I am to have the opportunity to come to live in the U.S. and our family didn't have to go back to Cambodia like these people. I couldn't imagine the suffering, having escaped to the refugee camps in Thailand and had to go back to the native country to find out that they don't have homes and not accepted by our own people.
Exactly right my brother and sister
Hun Sen Regime is So Stupid 👎🇻🇳👎🇻🇳
Thank you so much for sharing this film. They look difficulty when return home with nothing and isolate. However, our country is peacefully so hope they're happy together living this new camp to be developed new village next day. Their children go to schools, some children would get knowledge possible getting proper jobs with well paid to help their families for better of living.
I was born in Site 2 refugee camp and I returned to Cambodia when I was 8 years old
Thank you so much Orkun for this documentary really emotional ,Imliving in Kampot Cambodia from almost 10 years ...but need to learn more about the suffering of those people who keep a smile...thank you
🙏🏼❤️
This has been my life, I have never forgotten about it.
Me too brother Khmer, I will Never forget from Pol Pot regime Hell and sufferings and to Thai borders campuses
This would be my story if we hadn't been sponsored by my dad's ex brother inlaw in the early of 83 to the U.S. Watching this makes me appreciate and being greatful of what we have. I thank my parents for bringing us here to have a better life. I'm very blessed.
Great documentary ❤️ it kills me that people are still suffering.
Merci
Thanks to Mr or Madam for sharing this Khmer documentary film for our great -grandchildren to understand our refugees life.
It's so sad to see what these people had to go through their life. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was born in Sisophon. Though Cambodia has come a long way since then, there are many people who still struggle from its horrific history. My soul weeps for my people.
Wow, my tears started to come down during the war documentary for everyone to sit and watch.
My heart breaks for these people. So much suffering for far too long before & afterwards and still. The Cambodian government needs to help its people. No point going or talking about revenge. Love & compassion will prevail. I wonder what if my family hadn’t escaped the Vietnam war, where I would be too at times?. It’s an important story that needs to be told over & over to remind the youth of today how lucky they are for having their freedom. I hope Cambodia will rise again soon. Much love 💕.
Great video. Bring back old memory
These are the stories my parents won’t open up about. I have so much perspective now.
Hard to blame your parents or mine for not wanting to speak about this. My mom lost her mom when she was 13 the day the Khmer Rouge invaded and to this day she refuses to speak about it.
It’s the same with my late mom, whom passed away 2 years ago. She was the only surviving members out of her 9 siblings and she was the 5th child. When I asked about what happened, she weeps in sorrow with painful memory and wouldn’t say anything. It broke my heart that I never asked her again. I wish and I truly hope I was able heard her story so I can pass on this event that she lived through to my own family and future generation what had happened. Now it’s just a faded memory.
Miss my country so much.🇰🇭
I’m crying as I see this. I left Cambodia for 20 years now.
The end of 1995 me and my mom visited our relative in Cambodia still remember the ride of motorcycle nowadays tuk tuk
This is the place that I grown up and living right now
Cambodia will always be my favourite country. People say Thailand the ‘land of smiles’ but the smile’s in Cambodia are genuine. They’re not so much anymore in Thailand
Very Sad and it's real struggle for those were affected by this war. I was a child during that time, and was lucky enough to have escaped to safety.
This video is breaking my heart 😢
🙏.. greetings and thank you for sharing such a raw-emotions documentary.. each faces say so much of her/his truth.. humbly, wishing to give each healing hugs..✨✨✨🙂
First, I like to say thank you for sharing. This is an amazing documentary. I lived through Pol Pot regime and know what hell feel like. Also, I lived in Khao I Dang, Sakeo II and other camps in Thailand as well. Luckily, our family moved to Philippines for 9 months before a finally destination to the US. It is very sad to see Khmer people suffered, tortured, died injustice, poor and so on. These will be always in my mind and questioning myself, why Cambodia? what happen? Can we make lives better and be good to each? What's the cause? and so on....
Once again thanks for sharing these amazing videos.
I am too sister khmer. I lived and love Kai idang. ឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៩-៨១
My family and I lived there from 1979-1985
@@Coco-bu3mh All these killings and Sufferings are done by North Vietnam government 👎🇻🇳👎🇻🇳
I got lucky my family left KID camp in 1991 and came to United States 2 months later. So sad for the people who didn’t make it. 😢
My people my country our pain ;(
Remind our next generation is better
I've walked through those streets as a tourist... and now through this film as a Khmer.
Me too,never forgotten when my father was chosen to meet Sihanouk in 1975 ,that the last time I seen my father
Wow so sad.
chilldren had best clothes on pour the occasion. Thank you for sharing this documentary.
Thanks for sharing this documentary of history and it reminds us to be strong
lived in Cambodia for 13 years, the divisions between those who stayed during the Pol Pot years and the VN occupation and those who left to escape, then were repatriated back in the 1990s after the UN took over the country, are seldom discussed in such detail. These remain as invisible barriers between people as are the barriers of class and economic status...
And I love it
As a Cambodian i feel sad seeing all these
I was in pol pot all of my parents are dad. I got foster parents brought me here in the United state. I have no luck God bring me here. Am thankful to Jesus Christ everyday He Blessings my family.
It's a very painful tragedy. One we each take it to our graves.
Don’t give up, wipe off your tears and keep on going.
Good doco...
so sad that Cambodia has been forgotten.
We’re not FORGOTTEN. We are very much alive. Do something. Make the change.
ពីតជាលំបាកក្នុងជំនាន់ខ្ញុំធំរបបសីហនុនិងពលពតមើលហើយមើលទៀតកំសត់ណាស់់ពួជនាគល្វោស្រីល្វោព្រះអង្គភ្នំកួលានមិនងាយដាច់ពួជទេ គ្រាន់តែកំសត់.
A poignant film. Thank you.
Thank you for making this documentary. I was borne in Chamka Somrong 50 years agoes. How I stumbled on to this documentary is fate. I am very saden for all the people in this documentary and for all Khmer. I am feel very angry that I can't do anything to help. I pray that one 🙏 Khmer will have a good strong leader to help Khmer from the foreign grips.
@My Love @My Love, it's the ruling class and the Khmer leadership that loves the cominist China. As a matter of fact the Chinese had been trying to eliminated Khmer since the seventy. China used Pol Pot dirty hand to do so. I don't think Khmer citizens care much about the Chinese. Khmer just wanted to live in peace. China is the devil in disguise. People of the world are waking up to the nightmares that China have created... called COVID 19.
Thank you so much for posed l love and stupors your Chanel .
បងប្អូនខ្មែរពិតគួរអោយសង្វេគខ្លាំងណាស់ 😭😭😭
What is the music in the beginning?
I like this Video 😑😑😑 I also like my grandmather she talk about her life,
Sad, so very sad. Cambodia is a peaceful country that has never invaded or harmed anyone or country, but others, like Vietnam, and as far away as the United States bombed the hell of the country simply because of America suspected the Vietnamese were using Cambodian roads to transported weapons into South Vietnam. America bombed Cambodia to kingdom come none stop with B-52s. Has Washington ever helped the country or the Cambodians for the crimes it committed in Cambodia? NOTHING!
I lived through those period. Sihanouk allowed N Vietnam to infiltrate Cambodian territory during the VN war. Good leadership is the key to peace and prosperity. Stop blaming the others!
Well, that hurts.....;-;
Sad. Smart politicians will lead the country forward, but airhead politicians will manipulating by foreigners.
I am agreed with you. American used Ho Chi Minh trails which along borders of Cambodia and dropping bombs . Results, killing over thousands of lives. This is true when I learned American history in H. S. Erwin, TN.
Khmerminn Sota it was always greed or selfishness within that king family, that keep bringing the nation down every generation. from the end of angkor period, until now. whoever it was (i remember reading somewhere, siam appointed the new king once they came to power)that appointed that family line into royalty really set the future of the nation. theyve achieved more bad then good, but this is only my opinion. but now greed is in a new form...government.
As a former K. I .D refugee, after watching this documentary, I feel blessed that I didn’t have to return to Cambodia.
We probably were last family to leave the camp for the third Country, just in nixed of time, because we had no sponsor and we didn’t know how to apply for asylum to the third country, I could have easily be one of them.
These people are the one who find peace for Cambodia today, not Hun Sen! Without them, there were no Paris’s Peace Agreement and without Paris’s Peace Agreement, there are no peace in Cambodia. Because of them, the United Nations had to forced a peace settlement in Cambodia, hinted the Paris’s Peace Agreement!
The United Nations dump them there with inadequate support so West could wash their hands clean and walked away. And instead of the Local Cambodians saying thank you to them, they’re looked down upon. I could feel their pains. it’s a tragedy!

When it comes to property. Assets loss, there’s no humility in human. Greed will take over. I hate people preaching about humanity, helping each but no one lift a hand to help. MostLY all talk. My late mom always said to me”telling someone you help them doesn’t help them”. You want to help them, HELP THEM.
It very sad story when in 1975 that so many peoples die but all my family very lucky. I was only 5 year old but i don't know that much about war war 2. I will never forget .
Most of my relatives were able to transit to the US, Canada, and Australia. Only a few left who remained there because they don't want to lose their land in Cambodia. Some became wealthy and refuse to go live abroad even with the help of family sponsorship offerings. 😂
EVERYDAY, REMIND YOUR CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONS
CAMBODIA thank you the /UNTAC 1992 / so much

I am Khmer also and have lived in the Pol Pot era, now living in the United States. The greatest thing in my life while coming to America was being introduced to Jesus and receiving Him as my Lord and Savior. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." My prayers for all people in the world, especially the poor and the oppressed people like everyone in this video, is for everyone to have an opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus because He can provide love, hope, and much more while we are still living in this world. But most importantly is the gift of eternal life with Him to those who believe in the name of Jesus. Amen.
wow
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unforgetable🇰🇭😍
I used to live in site B Camp in 1985 as Sihanouk army.
My grandpa is Cambodia
🇰🇭 Rise Up🇰🇭
Greed for money. Greed for power. Those that are in charge just do not care....................
តើវិដេអូននេះផលិតនៅឆ្នាំណា admin
when you took this video?
Before and after, the same.
Even when their meet a lot of problems but the leader never help never see.
There are so many cambodian living illegally in a third country including me...my parent flee from war since 1992 came to thailand and then malaysia now..we're no longer allow to stay ..Now im thinking about going back to cambodia and begin a new life. btw i born in malaysia, now they want us to go back to our origin country which i have zero knowledge about.
Wow I never knew there are many Khmer people fled to Malaysia during that time
So said people very good and poor
We human beings just want three things to feel save, food, family and friends that all we want. But there some people who greedy and selfish who want more and more and more.
This is an old documentary

Feels very sorry for the repatriation
I know two of the disabled people there as I was also there. When was the picture taken? One of them were my friends. We’ve been in the camp together.
I believed it was in 2017
នឹកដល់ពេលមាតុភូមិនិវត្តន៍ តែមិនបានទៅរស់នៅទីនោះ
Wars Exist from human Evil desires and Greeds and Power., And so, many many people get killed and Sufferings from the past, in this present time and to the Future.
Don’t give up
trop triste
Im confuse, who are these people ?
Powerful documentary indeed. This is like my wife and her families journey. Only difference is.....they make it to the states. I feel so sorry for these people that got left behind. They were so close to make it to the third world country. It’s like you’re halfway to heaven and got sent back to hell. And on top of it all, you are discriminated against from your own people. It pisses me off to see my peoples still struggling until this day. There are no other country in the world that have it this bad. This is fucking hell on earth. 🤬😡😡
Zero You , lack of education of a so called leader in our nation isn’t doing anything to better the nation either. The current regime is the same as the previous because what most of Khmer doesn’t realize is that Hun Sen is the Number Three man in charge the Khmer Rouge he made a deal with Youn that if Youn wants Khmer that won’t be an issue. Hun Sen wanted to be Prime Minister of Khmer he switched from Number three man of Khmer Rouge to the liberator for Khmer because Youn allowed him to be. Hun Sen’s wife is Youn and served in the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) part of Viet Cong. His so called so Hun Manet is not his biological son, his wife was married to a NVA soldier. He’s was a captain who was killed during the war with Americans. The reason why Youn invaded Khmer was because under Hun Sen’s plans. Hunsen lead a company of Khmer Rouge into So called Vietnam but hind site it was Khmer Krom. He ordered his men to kill Khmer Krom that gave a good reason for Youn to invade Khmer. Youn didn’t do out of kindness. They did it for their own benefits. They knew Hun Sen is power hunger so that how the whole “Youn liberated Khmer” which is why most Youn says that they saved Khmer from Khmer Rouge. Under Geneva Conventions, this looks great because Youn justifies the costs of why they invaded Khmer. Now Khmer is completely under Youn controls. It’s the same goes with Laos, Youn has its grip on Laos as well. Hun Sen is Youn’s puppet. This is not taught in Khmer history books. I found these out when I was serving in the US Army and read the US military transcriptions about Southeast Asian Indoctrination. The same goes with why The US invaded Youn, they didn’t go there to try to save South Vietnam, The US got bought with lies by The Australians who were drilling for oil in the Gulf of Tonkin which now China is drilling that area at this very moment. The Australians told the Americans they could drill for oil off the Gulf of Tonkin. It was the Australians who invaded Youn first not the US. But the Australians knew that the US desperately needed oil for its gas guzzler automobiles during the 60s. Which is how the Japanese were able to gain ground on the US automotive industries,because the Japanese vehicles were smaller more reliable and consumes less gas.
Kheam Hem You did your due diligent in learning our history. I was seven years old during the Khmer Rouge occupation. All of what you wrote is accurate except Hun Sen wasn’t the number 3 man. He was just a low ranking cadets whose trying to make a name for himself. 🙏
There's so many ghost after killing
america uk and france where in the large part responsible for this and a lot of the following years of torment for these people. yet today this and these lovely people are largely forgotten by the so called civilised west. im ashamed to be british at times and would much rather be a part of these hard working peoples lives.
it's sad to see Khmer disliked Khmer
That guy at 38.20 wasn't scared because he was likely Khmer Rouge.
People who live in Cambodian 1975 Po pot year they also speak French and Thai but mainly Cambodian. There another language of village people speak the language of the mountain or village people only know what type of language is that l don't know for certain but it's not Cambodian for sure. Those people know what I'm talking about is the language of the mountain people can anybody please tell me what language that loas ocean language I could be wrong
Video was taken just 2 years ago. It is sad to see that people are still living in the slum. But I have to admit that lives are better today than Khmer Rough. Khmer Rough killed about 1.5 to 2 millions Cambodian between 1975-1978. Thanks Vietnamese who liberated Cambodian in 1979. Some people in comments section might disagree with me. But kind of stop and think about it for a moment. If Vietnamese didn't liberated Cambodians in 1979, how many more Cambodians would have been killed by Pol Pot and Khmer Rough? Some people complain about Vietnamese taking Cambodian lands and living in Cambodia. But we should let them live in Cambodia just to show our gratitude and appreciation for their sacrifices. We don't know how many Vietnamese soldiers died in 1979 war. Vietnamese withdrew their troops from Cambodia in 1989. Pol Pot and Khmer Rough soldiers were still hiding between Cambodian-Thailand border. There were still fighting Vietnamese and Hun Sen soldiers in 1989-1995. Pol Pot died in 1997 at the age of 73 years old. Some people said Pol Pot died of heart attack, some said he was poisoned by his soldiers. I don't care however he died, Cambodians are living a better life without him. I don't know why some people still live at the refugees camp in 2015 to 2018?. They should not be divided. They are all Cambodians. In 2020 economy is growing at approximately 9-10% annually. Peace to my fellow countrymen! I wish I could visit Cambodia one day.
The video is from 2010, it's visible in the very last second. Wish I could know how all of them are doing these days
@claykkari, wow! I didn't know that this was taken in 2010. So it has been 10 years. Man! Times fly!
Good document. I love it. I can speak Khmer too. Cambodian is peaceful now. Economy is growing at about 9-10% annually. Cambodian need a better health care. People still die of Malaria. They need better water treatment. They have poor sanitation. Peace to my fellow countrymen. I want to visit my home land one day. Peace!
I am vietnamese, and I am here to see more perspectives of Viet-Khmer Rouge war. Since my father served for Vienamese troops during 1980-1984 in Siemriep and Kompong Thom battlefield. He almost died many time when facing the Polpot. I am so haunted by his story and wanna know how Cambodian survivors think about Vietnam. @SeUn Your thought warms my heart when I know there are some people still have gratitude for what my father Sacrifices. Myself did my Volunteer Work as an Englsh teacher 2 year in the outskirt of Phnompenh to teach English for children there until Pandemic so I went back to Vietnam last year. I can say, all Khmer people that I have met, they are very friendly and treated me as their family member,especially the school principle where I worked. I hope you can visit you home country, and know more about your root.
@@themekonglife899 I’m Cambodian citizen with Chinese, khmer and Vietnamese descent. I think most of Cambodians have mixed feeling about Vietnam-Cambodia war in the 1979. Some thinks that it was a war of Vietnamese trying to invade Cambodia so the Vietnamese government would have more control/influence over Cambodia. In the history of Cambodians back in 17th and 18th century, we lost so much land to Vietnam and Thailand. So there are always people that think of Vietnamese as an enemy, invader and not ally. Some were relief and appreciate the fact that Vietnamese troops helped Cambodians out of pol pot. I personally think that if the Vietnamese didn’t invade Cambodia at the time, Khmer Rouge would go longer and more people would die because of overwork, illness and starvation. Although I only understand a bit of Vietnamese just enough to travel around. I still feel deep connection with Vietnam. My mom was born in Saigon though :) my mom’s family was the survivors of the Vietnam war. My dad’s family was the survivor of the Khmer Rouge.
2020
same like indonesian
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭😣
กอดหมอนนอนหนาวววววววว
3:19 they fish. Never knew.. free fish
These refugees should be heading to safe places such as America, Australia, or France.
Life?...
Good document. I can't believe in 2010, Cambodians still lived at Refugees Camp at Thailand and Cambodian border. Is that right? Youn and Thai want to steal Cambodian lands?
