3:18 pm
most of them were artist, diplomats or aristocrat or anybody intellectual. they want today do a cleansing and raise a new society. so many of us looked for another. after the genocide. began most commonly in the 80s, my family arrived in 1981, while america gave us a lot of hope and a new life, it also presented a lot of challenges for culturation and i think for cambodia refugees struggling with the dark history, we see ptsd and trauma and and it inspired the this next song called "belief"

3:23 pm
about what took place in cambodian and he was the first asian of cambodian american that won the oscars for his role. when i look at his life, was a actor and also a human rights activist, and a lot of us here, especially like me, born in cambodian but spent most of my life here, i always felt that i had that duty and always awareness about what took place in cambodian. so i want to share the stories through my music, i want people to know what happens and i think while my parents's generation, they struggled about sharing their stories and what they witnessed, what they went through, it's pretty important to remember because by remembering is how we can honor all those that we lost in
3:24 pm
the genocide but also pray that history does not company itself. this one is about coming out of the darkness and finding that, you know, the light after the dawn. it's called "like a rose." ♪ when the dark days come ♪ ♪ i ain't going to run ♪ ♪ when the dark days come ♪ ♪ oh listen to the morning song ♪ oh listen ♪ to the whispers and
