Film Lens
Sentenced Home is a documentary that focuses on the experiences of three Cambodian-American immigrants in Seattle. These individuals arrived as children in the early 1980s when many Cambodian refugees were resettled in the city. The film examines how their teenage rebellions lead to severe consequences under U.S. immigration policy.
