Lifting Up The Fallen
Sia Her of Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans explains what the American Dream means to Hmong refugees.
This short video was produced in conjunction with the TPT documentary, Minnesota Remembers Vietnam: America's Secret War.
The Hmong saw what the darkest corners of the hear could wreak on other human beings and somehow they found it within themselves to survive.
