Holland (Michigan) —Nach Chauv was 9 years old when he traveled on foot through miles of mine fields, escaping Cambodia after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Bandits and soldiers lurked, and the sound of land mines blasted around him during the journey through the jungle to Thailand.
Months later, he and his brother were on a plane to be reunited with their mother in Holland. Chauv has never been back.
On Nov. 20, however, he will return to Cambodia with a film crew in tow to document his search for answers to lingering questions about his childhood and his father. The project is titled “The Search.”
