As small ethnic-owned businesses in East Anaheim Plaza are threatened by plans of redevelopment, the collective Long Beach community has mobilized to resist against this ongoing injustice.

Our film tells the story of KH Supermarket, a Cambodian-owned grocery store in the heart of Cambodia Town, Long Beach that was forced to close due to gentrification. We aim to create space to mourn the loss of this cultural artifact and celebrate the market’s contribution of nurturing our community.

Chuh was deported to Vietnam, leaving Rex and their four daughters behind in the U.S. The family and their communities mobilize to fight for Chuh’s return to the U.S.

As Cambodia Town members face displacement threats, the Cambodia Town Thrives collaborative is formed to create a better future for their community.
