Learning About the Past - Lao Refugees

Found some very old television documentary profiles and news clips on Youtube that profiled the Lao refugees who had fled to Thailand.  For those of us who are too young to remember such things, what we do remember are our parents sharing these harrowing stories about those times.  And for those old enough to remember such events, then the following videos are likely scenes you haven't seen in decades.  Very educational!
