This award winning classic resettlement story is now available on DVD.
Previous VHS / 16mm owners will receive a 30% discount when purchasing
a DVD. Hang Sou and his family, preliterate tribal farmers, await
resettlement in a refugee camp in Thailand after fleeing their war-torn
native Laos. Becoming American records the odyssey as they travel to
and resettle in the United States. As they face nine months of intense
culture shock, prejudice, and gradual adaptation to their new home in
Seattle, the family provides a rare insight into refugee resettlement and
cultural diversity issues.
