Filmed over the course of 23 years, this 2009 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature, The Betrayal (Nerakhoon), is an astonishing tale of perseverance – one family’s struggle to survive their journey from war-torn Laos to the streets of New York. Eloquent yet devastating, renowned cinematographer Ellen Kuras’ directorial debut is a remarkable collaboration with co-director Thavisouk Phrasavath – a documentary that reveals the hidden, human face of war’s “collateral damage”.

This screening is taking place as part of New York City's Seventh Annual Immigrant Heritage Week, April 15 – 21 2010.

Presented by DCTV & Shooting People.
