STAY ALIVE, MY SON (CHAPTERS 1 & 2)

  • United States of America 🇺🇸
2023
55 min.

The powerful story of Stay Alive My Son (“SAMS”) unfolds further into Chapter Two, where for one night, participants embody a father, Pin Yathay, to first handedly experience a harrowing story about the injustice and anguish of family separation. As he confronts suppressed memories and reconciles with his past, Yathay finds liberation from his mental prison, revealing his profound reason to live. Using the unique medium of immersive and interactive storytelling, participants gain deeper insight on Yathay’s experience, casting a compassionate lens on human dignity and on the shared pain of parents who, even today, endure the heartbreak of family separation beyond the confines of this true story.
