The name Hmong means 'free people' or 'those who must have their freedom and independence'. History records ancient Hmong homelands in China, a fiercely independent culture dating back to 2000 BC, and centuries of oppression. This title tells the story of the Lao Hmong Struggle for freedom and survival since 1940.
