ចាប ឈាង / CHAB "Nike" Chheang Interview

Interview of Nike, conducted by project director Dana Bourgerie in 2018.

Chheang “Nike” Chab was born in Battambang province and fled Cambodia at the beginning of the Khmer Rouge era. He recounts being separated from part of his family while escaping and being sold by his father to a Thai family for a bag of rice. Following his immigration to America, he embraced Christianity and spent thirty years before unexpected events led to reuniting with his family, allowing him to reconcile with his father just a year before his father’s death. Despite his many hardships, Nike describes finding fulfillment in his family and religious beliefs while navigating a new life in America.
