Peng Phan lived through the brutally repressive Khmer Rouge regime of Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, which killed up to two million people. Imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge, she came close to death but was one of a few who managed to escape. Hundreds around her, including many children, were massacred.
Long haunted by memories of child after child murdered by the Khmer Rouge, Peng Phan decided to devote her life to Cambodias children and turn her home into a very special orphanage.
By giving poor and homeless children a place to find love, solidarity, art and music, Peng Phan hopes to build a happier future for those too young to remember the horrific history that left such deep scars on Cambodia.
The story of Peng Phan is a tale of heroism: her strength, love and passion in the face of war and genocide; her glamorous memories of life as a movie star after the brutal Khmer Rouge years; her hope that in sharing love, music and dance with the children of Cambodia, she can secure them a better future.
"Good Luck For You Every Day" is the incredible story of a woman who doesn't want to die without a purpose. It also is the story of the kids she has taken under her wing and the people who struggle to keep the orphanage running under difficult circumstances.
