1982 Hmong Documentary " The Best Place to Live " Part 1

This is one of the earliest known documentaries about the Hmong people living in America. This video is being shared for educational purposes only. I do not own this video. This video was directed by Peter O' Neill/ Ralph Rugoff in 1982. Peter is currently working for the Rhode Island School of Design. Thanks and enjoy.
