The families of Hmong veterans, who were recruited by the CIA in the 1960s to fight a secret war against the Communists in Laos, are the Vietnam War's forgotten remnants.

From third-world squatter camps to new beginnings in the U.S., 16,000 Hmong refugees are being relocated to America to start their lives anew. All are poor, most are illiterate and few have marketable skills. But for the first time in decades, they are free.
