Teb Chaw (Land)
Teb Chaw (Land) is an immersive portrait of Hmong refugee farmers transforming local foodways in a diversified Minnesota–home to one of the largest populations of the Hmong diaspora built in the aftermath of the Secret War in Laos.
This film is Episode 2 of the Southeast Asian American Journeys docuseries produced in association with the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC) and the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM).
This landmark series, part of the Our Roots, Our Power campaign, explores the stories of five local Southeast Asian refugee communities who, while being shaped by their resettlement journeys, have transformed the landscape of which they are a fundamental part.
