Plot Summary
Director Elaine Velazquez’s award-winning 1991 film provides an intimate and compassionate look at the Yiu Mien, Southeast Asian refugees who originally settled in the Pacific Northwest in the wake of the Vietnam War. In their ancient society in the mountains of Laos, this hill tribe had no electricity, cars, or any other twentieth century technology. Their involvement with the CIA during the war forced the Mien to lose their homeland and resettle in the US. Coming here, they were catapulted from one century into another, shifting their ancient mountain homeland and the mindboggling complexities of Western, urban living—everything from apartments and new food to freeways and shopping malls. Through the words of the elders and rare archival footage, we glimpse a moving, not so often seen story of the immigrant experience.
