Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
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.
