CAMBODIA: Returned to Sender

Chhin Toeun, 24, or Hawaii to his friends, gets ready to climb onto his motorbike in central Phnom Penh. After spending more than 7 years in prison he was deported back to Cambodia. Previously a gang member in the US, he remains dressed like an American covered in tatoos and is seen as a foreigner to local Khmers even though he was born in Cambodia. After escaping the Khmer Rouge regime to the US as refugees, many young American Cambodians are being sent back to Cambodia never to return to the US again.
