The day after my birthday, I boarded a plane and embarked on a new journey, returning to my home land of Cambodia...My family and I fled Cambodia when I was only two years old, yet butterflies fluttered above the pit of my stomach and I felt like I was coming home. That day, I knew I wanted to learn more about my country. Today, butterflies still intact, I want to help protect it. We recorded this video soon after my film crew and I left Areng Valley for the first time last year and soon after I made a promise to Reem Sav See that I would do everything in my power to protect her land and the land of our ancestors. As I begin another journey in Cambodia, I remind myself of my promise, not only to Reem Sav See but to myself - to love, to fight, and to protect the nature that is our home. - Kalyanee Mam
