In the fall of 2010, 1Love Movement formed in response to a deportation crisis that targeted Cambodian-Americans with past criminal convictions in Philadelphia, PA. What began as a campaign to release loved ones from the prison and deportation systems, grew into a grassroots movement building organization. Learn more about us here.
In part 1 of “Deported,” advocates and organizers of 1Love Movement lay out their efforts to find a way to end the deportation of Cambodian refugees from the United States, and their hopes to revise the repatriation agreement that opened the pathway for the U.S. to deport refugees back to Cambodia. “Deported,” created by Sahra V. Nguyen, is a five-part documentary series on “NBC Asian America Presents…” that follows the global movement to end the deportation of Cambodian refugees from the United States. Over the course of the documentary, advocates made urgent appeals to the United Nations and traveled to Cambodia to sit down at the table with representatives of the Cambodian government.
