Three Minute Video on Cambodian Deportees Not Selected to White House
The video by two students in Chicago, Anide Yoeu and Masahiro Sugano, is about issues affecting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. They put together a film on the plight of Cambodian deportees. The video was in response to a White House contest that would invite six of 11 finalists to the White House. The event called "Champions of Change" is one of a series of events meant to honor people making a difference in their community. The finalists feel that the fact that they were not included in the trip to Washington is due to the films close topic to a controversy over the record number of immigrants deported by the Obama Administration.
