"Lucky Child"

Listen Tuesday, Apr. 19, 2005 at 1:32 p.m. in Conflict

Loung Ung was trained to be a child soldier after her parents were killed by the Khmer Rouge. But Ung escaped to America in 1980 as a 10-year-old Cambodian refugee, leaving her sister behind. Hear about their reunion 15 years later, and the parallel lives of sisters growing up in two very different worlds.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
