I am an independent filmmaker, currently located in Fayetteville, AR and looking to relocate to Austin, TX or LA or NY for film work. Here I try and share my works-in-progress, and thoughts on various subjects, usually related to social welfare, economics, space colonization, gaming, and of course film making.

Sad history we hmong have, no records no recorded history language or anything, yet it's beautiful that we arrived in states and now thrive
Late to this video but at the time of this video, yes things were looking disappointing with the newer generation but present times, it's actually improving and becoming much more simpler so that anyone can learn. Even your Caucasian son in law can practice some important parts now as well.
While we enjoy our freedom in america, what about the ones left behind and died. All the storys being told makes me feel we got used and betrayed more than we are welcomed and liked.
Thank you for this documentary short film. It is an educational real life story of the Hmong People. This will teach the younger Hmong People about whom they are and where their parents and ancestors come from. Thank you USA.
Great story to share.thanks
Have you seen the film Gran Torino? I'm a California-born (1944) gal whose grandparents were from the Ozarks. We were big families, conservative, gun-toting, elder-respecting, self-sufficient, proud and honor bound. The men had the final word. It's ironic that I related so much to the film, but the Hmong folks are a lot like my grandparents. They are all gone now. We are spread like wild flowers all over the West Coast. No more huge family reunions. And, as for the men, well...I was a part of the Second Wave Feminism. Yet, I still have deep respect for the working man and the protective man.
Thank you very much for this documentary... from France...
Is this your video or a reupload?
Well done to all the Hmongs for not quitting despite all their sufferings.
These are Sunni Lee's people. A history of her people.
Sorry I didnt get to really know you Uncle but thanks for your Connections.
It doesn't really matter if you look at history. All cultures/contries/kindoms come and go. We all gonna be mixed down the road. I'm Viet in USA. Never thought my family/ralatives will be anything other than Vietnamese, but we're all mixed from White to brown and everything in between with baby nieces and nephews. This automatically make us more tolerant to all all ethnic groups for the most part. Vietnam is also very mixed from thousand of years, but at this time everyone is Asian looking. We got lot's of ethinic groups including Hmong people. We all asian looking for the most part and it's more about who got money or not. I can recall my mom's friends 40 years ago in Vietnam who would visit us at times when I was little living in the city in VN. The shape of our country on has been so ....maybe last 50-100 years. Maybe in 1k years the whole world will be Vietnamese...you just never know :) Best wishes to Hmong people!
Now we all grow weed hahaha the hmong people had done so much for the south more then people will ever know.

this is the best hmong documentary i’ve seen
My parents and uncles have large farms in the ozark. The area that they were in had low income and the home values were greatly depreciated when they first moved there. That’s why they were able to buy land for cheap. Soon many of our friends and relatives started moving there and over a span of 10 years the land prices raised. There was even an article in the local paper reporting this. The Hmong are able to buy land because they have strong extended family bonds. They help each other to move up. For example one of my relatives family stayed with my parents for several saving money, eventually bought their own farm and in turn helped out other relatives family do the same. They share information and support each other monetarily in difficult times. If you see a Hmong farmer you’d think they look broke and because they have an accent they are dumb but the eyes lies, they are resourceful. My dad sold his farm and now retired. He’s doing very well for someone with broken English. I remember going to Mc Donald and the cashier saying that’s a dumb order to the next cashier because of my moms order. Little does she know my mom runs their chicken farm business and she has a degree in accounting.🌞
Thanks for this nice little documentary. As mentioned in the video, the Hmong people has overcome many obstacles to plant themselves and ingrained themselves into the fabric of American life. Now, we are first and second generations and our children are as American as apple pie.
I love the Hmong people and people of Southeast Asia. My fiancé is Vietnamese and over there the Hmong people live in the northernmost part of Vietnam. My girlfriend and her family are from Ho Chi Minh City in the southern part of Vietnam and they are not Hmong but I have always been interested in the Hmong people and enjoy learning about them. ❤️
I love it
LOL
This is important to see. I’ve been researching my hmong roots, most of it via KZread and google searches. This is the first good example I’ve seen of the Hmong refugees describing the hardships of adapting to American life even though it wasn’t a picture perfect movie ending scenario with buying a farm. It’s clear to me too that we hmong Americans are being taken advantage of by others who know how these markets and regulations work. I hope we have people who can fight and support us minimize people taking advantage of us. There’s no reason why we should be going bankrupt if people were being honest about what they’re selling for these huge properties.
I’ve been researching for the last 3 years brother. Stay strong in these times. Stand Unshaken.
This documentary was very good and informative. As a generation that was born in the refugee camp and came here at an early age, I too fear that our children's generation will not know their culture. I admit even my children do not speak Hmong. I hope that the future will be bigger and brighter for the Hmong.
Very well done. So amazing to hear about Hmong in Arkansas.
I notice Hmong people don't like to live close to the Chinese people even in San Francisco. They rather live in the suburbs of San Francisco.
Can you blame them, it’s hard to forget being persecuted but as our younger generations grow up, with time we can learn to accept and understand each other.
Thanks for the video. Love Hmong people
Oh history makes sense too. Support each other, good friends
I knew Gmong people when I li ed in Iklahoma. They were originally from Arkansas. I had friends that I would go there and visit their families with. I was always welcomed in who evers house we would end up. I never had one bad experience there amongst the Hmong.
Wonderful people. I hope they can preserve their culture...
Dumb ass
Hmong culture is dumb
Cowarders always rn
Forwarders always run
Top loser maybe
3:55 all of the hmong basic songs back than till now
I'm Hmong but I never know how my family survive the war when I was just a baby.... Why now I'm in the United States of America and I was born in United States of America and My b-day is on Jan 20 but I don't know how they survive the war but If I say that to my mom then she will not tell me...🤔🤔🤔 I'm super confused but I'm 8 years old
I'm from china but I'm not Chinese???
Of course. There are ethnic groups in China. Hmong is one of them so they identified themselves as such.
When people from China say they are not Chinese, they mean that they are not Han.
Don't worry, some day some time we the Hmong will get them back,they'll pay what they have owe.
The Hmong people is thankful for the Americans interference out there in the southeast Asia. There is no future for them there. Having their own army was the most happiest thing that could have ever happened to the Hmong people. But an army without a nation, is just a passing dream. And all is passed, by the end of the Vietnam war.
hmong people are just a subordinate second class in a nation that isn't their own they were brought here to work second class jobs under cultural suppression and are basically modern day slaves they were pushed out of the jungles of laos, either join the lao, the vietnamese, or the american army to be involved in a power struggle that ultimately would not benefit themselves, their own people, their own sovereignty and nation their fate was simply one of misfortune and survival they didn't want to die in the mountains of life, so they simply had to move and seek survival elsewhere ultimately, as a subordinate second class in a nation that isn't their own this is their curse.
Thank you so much for sharing this document 🙏❤
We to United States in 1979 into Utah.
V.P. pass on but we will still be strong.
This was one of the best clip telling the Stories and journey of the Hmong from laos and in the USA.
The farm picture at 9:08 is where I use to live.
It is good to see you Hmong Americans whom have the farms and businesses like this, As I am a young Hmong in Laos. I would like to do somethings for creativity and create jobs for our the Hmong people and the society in Laos also. So, I hope that you would be kindly supporting and advising me, if I need your help. Thank you for making this video.
