More DescriptionIn 2004, retired retinal surgeon James Hung arrives in Cambodia, a war-torn, traumatized country still reeling from the brutal rule and genocides of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. His mission is to discover how his eyecare expertise can benefit the people. He reaches out to the Cambodian eye doctors--only nine serving the entire country at the time--and begins to build relationships with them as he learns how he can help them succeed. Over several years and many visits, Dr. Hung explores the country and learns as much as he can about the people and their tragic history. Cambodia on My Mind combines a chronicle of Dr. Hung's charity work in Cambodia with his research and observations about the country and the stories of the people he meets along the way.
