'Return to KID' is a 1hr 28min documentary about the survival story of filmmaker Vanna Seang's family, where he journeys together with his parents, mother Ly Heang Seang and father Norn Seang back to Cambodia for the first time in 30 years. Vanna reconnects with relatives and attempts to reconstruct their once severed family tree, before retracing the difficult and arduous trek undertaken by his parents, in escaping the murderous Khmer Rouge - carrying only him and his siblings. The K.I.D (Khao-I-Dang) refugee camp in Thailand offers relative safety - or so it seems. Amidst the struggle, pain and sorrow, Return to KID is also peppered with laughter and joy. At its heart, Return to KID is a very personal story of healing and rediscovery.
The 'Return to K.I.D' documentary is Vanna's personal legacy project. It was the last project he worked on before tragically, suddenly passing away on September 5, 2018, after only shortly being diagnosed with a rare blood condition.

Good movie. Just watched it. Sad to hear he passed away.
