Sentenced Home

This documentary follows three Cambodian-American men, brought to the U.S. as children by their refugee families. Raised in the grim public housing of Seattle, among gangs and other realities of that life, bad choices made as teens altered their lives forever, when immigration laws after 9/11 provided no second changes for such children. Though they were raised in the U.S., speak to one another in English, and even think in English, each is sentenced to return to Cambodia and must leave their family in the U.S., possibly forever. Produced and directed by Nicole Newnham.
