Description	Filmed over 23 years, The Betrayal is the directorial debut of renowned cinematographer Ellen Kuras in a remarkable collaboration with the film's subject and co-director Thavisouk Phrasavath. During the Vietnam War, the United States government waged its own secret war in the neighboring country of Laos. When the U.S. withdrew, thousands of Laotians who fought alongside American forces were left behind to face imprisonment or execution. One family, the Phrasavaths, made the courageous decision to escape to America. Hoping to find safety, they discovered a different kind of war. Epic in scope yet devastatingly intimate, featuring an exquisite score by Academy Award®–winning composer Howard Shore, The Betrayal is a testament to the resilient bonds of family and an astonishing tale of survival.

This movie should be more famous for its depiction of the lesser known facts of American life. They had no idea what they were dealing with starting with the father down to the son and all the other questions this story opens. Slice of pop culture, history of an unkown war. and the abuse of a family, the obvious truth vs fiction of being in America more by circumstance, than choice. This movie will make you look at us with different light, and this movie will make you cry. Please watch!!
