"Thavi" Phrasavath
will join us for a screening of his film...
"The Betrayal"
Filmed over the course of 23 years, The Betrayal (Nerakhoon) is the epic story of a Lao soldier family's journey from war-torn Laos to the mean streets of New York. Thavisouk Phrasavath describes his own life as a young man struggling to survive a war and survive the hardships of immigrant life, counterpointed by his mother's astonishing tale of perseverance. http://www.thebetrayalmovie.com/
and he will introduce his new book
"Stepped Out of the Womb"
A memoir of a journey to the land where the sun falls http://www.laocenturymedia.com/
This book is memoir of his series of recollections of his childhood experience as one of the children of the war torn country of Laos, his escape from communism and his journey to America at the end of the Vietnam War era. Through the collective memories of his actual experiences we were able to submerge into the mind’s eye of an innocent child and see the brutality, atrocity and tragic horror of war. Through the strength of his will to share his memories we were inspired to dig deep within ourselves and find the remedy to heal our personal pain. Through his yearning to be free we find ourselves becoming a forgiver, as well as being liberated from some of our own oppression and misery. “Stepped Out of the Womb” will hold your hand and accompanying you out of your own womb of comfort, and you’ll bravely taking your own journey deep into your own soul. Every word written down on the page was straight out from the core his heart. This is a kind of book that readers have to read with their heart not with English dictionary.
The book now available for purchase at: www.laocenturymedia.com

Bring Peace Not Pain is proud to be a part of A Global Call to Theatrical Action: "There is a Field"
You are invited to attend a public reading of award-winning film-maker and activist, Jen Marlowe's, play about the quest of a seventeen year old Palestinian boy she met at a Seeds of Peace campaign in 1999, who the following year was killed during a demonstration in the Gaza strip. "There is a Field" encapsulates his quest for truth... and all the loved ones and insights he left behind.
After the reading, Bryan Leone, a Lutheran Minister, who recently returned from teaching in the Gaza Strip, will share his thoughts and experiences.
