This is a visceral, immersive documentary short film through the eyes of a 14-year-old Cambodian girl, a survivor’s memoir unfolds in VR—breaking years of silence through an odyssey of love and loss, atonement and remembrance as she experiences the award-winning VR project Stay Alive My Son, based on the book and memoirs of Yathay Pin, a survivor and father forced to make the unimaginable decision to abandon his son to survive.
It is a persona documentary of my return to Cambodia on the 50th anniversary to return the project to the people that inspired its creation and watch silence great open. A promise to one parent became a calling for healing, and later a global responsibility to reunite modern day families torn by war.
This would inspire my the Rolling Stone article, If Tiles Could Speak They Would Scream, which became the basis of the documentary’s narrative… and so much more!
