Great Film! Check out Ellen Kuras & Thavisouk Phrasavath's repeat screenings on April 22 & 27 @ HotDocs.
"NERAKHOON (The Betrayal)" is the personal story of a Lao family who survives the ordeals of the Lao secret air war. This ordeal starts with the father joining the CIA, the forced exile of the family to America, continuing after the split of the family. It is an epic immigrant drama, full of humanity,wit and tragedy, poetry and ancient philosophy. Its form is unique, merging the documentary and narrative in a poetic memoir with the viseral edge of cinema verite that unfolds over 23 years.
About Me
- 國仔, 三绿狗制作公司.
- 長沙灣, 九龙, 香港, China
- “Made in Hong Kong” & culturally disoriented in the Americas. I've lost close friends, survived poverty, attended art school, read some books, ran the streets and lens the world. My fortune cookie predicaments include making peace with the notion of living on the margins without borders, staking claims to a “paradise” with decent Chinese food, retiring a gentleman of leisure with a mahjong parlor somewhere in the South Pacific and devoting myself to the art of meditative probability after celluloid art becomes obsolete. In the mean time, I'm a free agent, living in my converted church/studio in Korean town with my chocolate Lab Bailey and looking to go steady with anyone out there with a kick ass script to shoot.
