Ripple Effect: Sons of the Killing Fields

This is the long form trailer for the 1:20 min documentary film. It is in the final stages of development is being represented out of Boston and New York City. For questions contact the Director/Producer Ken Kinna at 617-699-9023.

In the film we meet Steven and Manny two Cambodian American members of rival gangs in a Lynn, MA a medium size city just outside of Boston. We also meet members of the faith based organization, Straight Ahead, who are trying to save them from death our endless imprisonment. To help the kids, their parents and the community lean more about each other a trip to Cambodia is planned and the kids begin their journey from the present to the past and back again... Ultimately this film questions causes that affect the circumstances of a reality which is now just called "gang related". Though specific to these kids and this city, there is an unsettling universal theme of consequence to previous wrongs never addressed that some day may affect us all.

ripple effect.. tsk should be called the crutch effect, cambodian people use our past tragedy as an excuse. I understand what we endured but most of these so called gangsters have never experienced the things my parents, siblings, and other cambodian people has. Its a shame and a mockery to run around using this crutch as an excuse and a way to say there's zero opportunities.

It is important to understand that there are factors that lead to consequences. No-one ever has an excuse to be violent but when they do you can often find reasons that lead the behavior. Some of the kids I met have little to no parental guidance because their parents were affected by this tragedy or just coul dnot support their kids when they needed help. It is not the only reason but it is one factor. that people should understand.

You are correct I do not mean that, but I do belive that past history often affects current relatity even if people no longer see it... this just part of the story.

I'm from Lynn :o The park they play basketball at is by my house ! There's not even that many gang fights anymore....? But then again, what would i know...im part of the small amount of white people left xD Still, i dont think there has ever been a day when i dont hear ambulance or police sirens..its a pretty dangerous place /:

Clearly there have been many issues leading to the violence that you have seen. Poverty is a factor, education is a factor, teen pregancy is a factor, even media is a factor and so the history of those settling there is also a factor. All problems have many root causes. The more these issues are understood and addressed the better things will become. And it is worth it beacuse you do not want things to get worse! This is only a small step and one story in trying to help this understanding,
