Khmer Legacies
United States of America
Decades after the brutal genocide the Khmer Rouge atrocities continue to have a strong and debilitating impact on Cambodian Americans. Over sixty percent of Cambodian Americans suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and fifty percent are affected by major depression. Yet there has not been any large scale effort to provide closure for this community. A significant generational divide has resulted from the silence of these first generation survivors as well as the lack of knowledge about the genocide imparted to their children. Khmer Legacies empowers young Cambodians to interview their own parents about their survival and disseminate these stories to educate the public about the genocide. They work to normalize and remove the stigma from issues that survivors have been keeping silent for a generation. Through this process these young Cambodians hope to transform the culture of denial and avoidance in Cambodian communities to one of acknowledgment and honor.
