Neej Yag Hawj Qeej Documentary.avi

This short little film was actually a final project for a Masters Degree--and won a few awards. It was too short to be aired in the US, but it was aired in France and Canada a while back. A few of my students and I were invited to many Film Festivals to see these documentaries, and most of them were professionally done--but this short Qeej documentary is right up there with those professional ones (most of them were about 1 hour long).

At one such Film Festival that I went to, this video was shown with a documentary on the current Dalai Lama...it was a great honor and the producer/director of this short little qeej film did a good job on promoting it.

you have the same vision as i do Npawg.. Myself being the few 1st generatin Mong American born in the states saw that our culture greatly relies on us to be the ones who should grasp onto our culture in order to pass it on. What most of us should understand is that like what you said in the video is If our roots dig deep we will never fall, im proud to be Mong. thanks for the video and congrats on the awards.

@mrnoobzoo it is true that a stiff branch will be torn/broken if great wind applies pressure to it. however, a tree with strong roots will never fall when confronted with a strong wind. those who do not appreciate mong culture are those with very weak roots and will eventually fall when windy days come. it is disturbing to know that people do not understand this concept.

The reason you don't listen to funeral songs in doors is because the song is release the dead person wondering soul to the afterlife and which could release or entrap your soul in the spirit world which is a bad thing because your not dead yet..

Question, can these qeej songs be heard indoors or outdoors? I was told the funeral ones must be heard outdoors only if ur just listening to them. Let me know if I can listen to them in my home before I listen to the whole thing. I'm still a green horn at telling the difference between normal songs and funeral songs. Thanks.

i love this

I truly believe that christian people are just a bit too lazy to learn the hmong culture/religion. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but thats what I think. People may believe in what ever they wish, but really.

Ua tsaug. Love the documentary. Thank you for sharing. Tu siab heev li.

[itsMENGOOO]

whooaa, you know what? i totally agree with your sense of knowledge on this document. it really actually makes sense.

[mrnoobzoo]

just wanted to add somthing on here. like i said i am born here in the states. what i wanted to share to our bothers and sisters is that Zaaj Tshoob, Txiv Xaiv, and Qeej once you've learn them it will give you a bigger understanding of being Mong, reason why i say that is because everything that we do are in Cov Zaaj its almost like a book. I encourage alot of my friends my age and younger that they should not let our culture slip by and i get the same response all the time "I Dont Know" i tel
