Thirty years after Pol Pot’s regime devastated Cambodia, a new generation struggles to make their way toward a better future. Coach Nia, a survivor whose family was murdered by the Khmer Rouge, was motivated to open a boxing club to mentor orphans and street kids. Clark, a teenager addicted to sniffing glue spends his days begging for food and his nights sleeping on sidewalks. Clark allows us deeper into his life as we meet his estranged family and see their daily struggle to overcome the scars of their past.
