Far Off Sounds Ep 20 - Cambodia, California

In Long Beach, CA, a late-blooming newlywed couple work to preserve the remnants of Cambodian music and literature left in the wake of the Khmer Rouge genocide, which they both escaped from in the early 1980's. We visited a number of Khmer communities across California to find out what holding onto a once-decimated cultural history looks like, and how the displaced diaspora has made a new home in California.
