Storyline
Long Beach hipster wannabe Sovanna receives a cryptic letter from Cambodia claiming that her long-lost brother and sister are still alive. Ditching her dead-end lifestyle and alcoholic father, Sovanna travels to her birthplace alone to seek out her two siblings who disappeared during the civil war 20 years earlier. With guidance from a quirky motorbike driver named Munny, Sovanna launches her search into the dark corners of Cambodia. Upon discovering a girl who may or may not be her real sister, Sovanna is ensnared into an increasingly dangerous situation, pitting her in a tug-of-war between her own personal safety, and her compassion for a stranger.

The past called her back home.
When I heard that a movie was being made about Kampuchea, I thought that it would show our country correctly. Instead, we have a movie that shows the country as if it is a mean and scary place.
It is important for people to understand that Kampuchea is the strongest country and isn't a bad place or a place with stupid people. There is strong industry but it seems that the film maker just wanted to talk about some girl and her home coming to a place that doesn't really even exist. Also I am not sure that the first act was really strong enough and the pacing was a bit off.
Pol Pot would be ashamed of this awful film.
