 Smiling together, Mike Siv’s father with his arm around his son. David Mark (holding hat with towel draped around his neck), Paul Meas (holding a video cam) and Michael Siv are sitting down, facing the camera at Angkor Wat.
“I grew up in America for 20 years without a father and I just wanted to go to Cambodia to meet my dad and my brother…. I just wanted to know what it’s like to have a father.” Meet three young Cambodian American men, raised on the streets of San Francisco's tough Tenderloin district, as they travel to Cambodia to meet fathers, sisters and brothers for the first time—revealing family secrets, the heavy toll of years of separation and the quagmire of Cambodia’s political history.
