LOST CHILD ~ SAYON'S JOURNEY shows how one Khmer Rouge child soldier confronts his childhood experiences during Cambodia's darkest hour, what he witnessed, and struggled with as he came of age. Sayon Soeun was abducted at the age of six, exploited by the Khmer Rouge, his family life and education stolen.
