What If We Stayed

By Sopheak Touch

In the wake of the ravaging Khmer Rouge regime, a Cambodian family flees their war-torn homeland.

The Khmer Rouge had been overthrown, but the nation was still reeling from the impact of their devastation. Millions of people had been killed and the survivors were struggling to make due.

Amidst the disorder, many families went with the choice to escape. Among them were Sam, his wife Srey, and their three children. They packed their few belongings, and embarked on a dangerous journey to Thailand.

En route, they face many difficulties: hunger, thirst, illness and the steady threat of violence. They also have to battle with their own fears and doubts. Will they make it to safety? Or on the other hand become casualties of the conflict?

What If We Stayed tells the story of their journey, and the sacrifices they made along the way. It is a story of courage, resilience, and hope.
