Sayon Soeun, Sopheap Theam & Janet Gardner

Last evening was the Lowell premiere of “Lost Child: Sayon’s Journey”, a documentary about Sayon Soeun who at a very young age was forced to serve as a Khmer Rouge soldier. The film follows Sayon, who has lived in Lowell since the early 1990s, as he returns to Cambodia in search of the family he last saw when he was taken by the Khmer Rouge. The film is excellently done, emotional, and quite revealing about another aspect of the experience of many of our neighbors here in Lowell. Everyone who lives in this city should see it.

More information about the film is available here and information about Light of Cambodian Children, the non-profit organization with which Sayon is affiliated, is available here.
