Shh...The Secret is Out (Part 2)

For my 2006 Senior Project, i decided to shoot a documentary on the "Secret War". I focused on the lack of knowledge we know today about the war. This project consist of writing a 8 page paper which took me 3 months. This documentary itself took me 2 1/2 months. In the end, it was worth it. I learned many great facts and gained more knowledge on the War/Hmongs. I was wanting the video to be longer, but with the time i had...it had to be quick and simple. This project earned me the "Superior Senior Project Award". It was a terrific way to end off my Senior year! This project was also presented to the panel consisting of 4 random judge from the school board. Credits are in the end. I hope you enjoy this video. - Thank you

[ZooZooZooFILMS]

The rap was by Delicious Venom. A talented hip hop duo from St. Paul, Minnesota. You can check them out at myspace@deliciousvenom. Thanks!

wow.. very well put together! but why not do somting about the hmong people. actually going out there and get the governments attention? you've got this far already right?

[ZooZooZooFILMS]

It was a Senior Project that i had to complete in 2 months. My research did not get that far. But one day...i would like to go beyond those borders. I also did not want to go off topic. One of the main reasons for this documentary is trying to spread awareness...and showing how people do not know much about what went on in the jungles of Laos. I appreciate your inputs and comments. Have a great day!

the person interviewed at the end should be edited out..the totally ruined the whole documentary

[ZooZooZooFILMS]

This documentary shows different opinions/point of views. If the person in the end is edited out...there would be no point of the document.

[arthurvaj]

great video; i think that i might try and do the same thing that you are doing(for senior year), however i do not want to make it that same :not trynna "BITE"; anyways, in CALIFORNIA, i heard that it was a law to include history about the HMONG people. that's incredible :)

@ilcu4

The United States is many people... the CIA is only a few people.... your argument is like saying your brother killed a man... and therefore your entire family should suffer. Stop blaming the entire US, you're also blaming all the Hmong US citizens.. who last time i checked, GOT TO COME TO THE Untied States... which means that the CIA didn't BREAK their promise (that would mean no one got to come and get saved), but only gave it a half-assed job (but of course, it's more complicated)

[exilius333]

Many countries have exhibited the so-perceived 'betrayal' but that is due to so many complex factors that appear over larger scales of time and not comparable to the simple examples of a someone saying we'll help you and they never help. The US did allow many, many Hmong to come here as return for helping. Complete betrayal would be to not have let any Hmong enter the US. So there is then a 'degree' of broken promises but that is ONLY because things are complicated in this world.

[exilius333]

By "more human than hmong", I mean that your ancestors were 'human' for millions of years, and the Hmong ancestry only dates back ten thousand (at most) years. I view this as children banding together on the playground. The prosecution is bad, and I believe that the US should help but I dont believe in separating yourself from others. Foolish. In another 500 years most races will be so mixed (just like it was a long time ago) that very few people can say they are 'this race' or 'that race'.

[exilius333]

You're human... Hmong and all other perceived cultures are temporary (a small segment of time)... you're more human than 'hmong'... such discrimination (defined as differentiation not racism) is what separates the world when it need not be separated..

[gervaj1982]

I feel this music video my HMONG PEOPLE! That lick when home boys says,"OUR STORIES ARE STILL BEING SEW." That was super hard much love to all my HMONG PEOPLE all around the world. "Don't ever forget where you come from because you might never make it where you're going" Always remember that phrase my HMONG PEOPLE.

this is y americans r hated by the french people alot becuz in history of america, americans asked for help from french french helped them but after americans won and now french needed help with the british people americans refused to help and signed a stupid treaty thats y french people hate americans and there not racist like americans said even today some hmong people hate americans for that becuz there not keeping there promise they just want to focus on land owning people unlike the hmongs.
