After surviving 30 years of war and being refugees for 15 years, 380,000 Cambodians were repatriated in 1992 to their homeland from the Thai border refugee camps. Some of them were resettled in villages built for them by the United Nations. How can a society rebuild itself after such a traumatic scattering? Those who never left were suspicious and saw the massive arrival of these exiled families as a threat to their land and equilibrium. The villagers gave these former refugees a nickname still used today: “The Wanderers”. Christine Bouteiller’s documentary (2010, 58 mins) is a tribute to their resiliency.
