THE BETRAYAL (NERAKHOON)

USA, 2008, Ellen Kuras, Thavisouk Phrasavath

One of the five nominees for this year's Oscar for Best Documentary Feature,
the directorial debut of celebrated cinematographer Ellen Kuras is a
lyrical, impressionistic saga shot over 23 years. The movie traces the
journey of a Laotian refugee (co-director and subject Thavisouk Phrasavath)
who left war-torn Laos when he was 12 and eventually made his way to
Brooklyn, NY. The film movingly conveys the plight of a people who were
caught up in a secret war and abandoned by their U.S. protectors. "Lyrical,
expansive, unbearably beautiful." -New York Magazine. Cleveland premiere.
Subtitles. 96 min. www.thebetrayalmovie.com
