In the 1970s and ‘80s, Southeast Asians fleeing the devastations of war came to San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood to start their lives anew. Four decades later, they are confronted with ghosts of their pasts as displacement in San Francisco once again forces them to leave their homes.
Stop in for a screening of Mike Siv’s “Daze of Justice” (2015), an award-winning documentary that follows Cambodian survivors of Pol Pot’s brutal regime as they travel back to the homeland for the first time in decades. They break their silence about the genocide and the horrors they experienced to testify at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. Siv, himself a refugee who grew up in Tenderloin, explores the collision of present and past in their journey for justice. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion, with Cambodian genocide survivors and award-winning author and journalist Andrew Lam, about past and present struggles against displacement of Southeast Asian communities locally.
