Heritage of Champions: A Lao American Athlete Journey to the 2023 SEA Games

This is a short documentary on a group of Lao American athletes that traveled to Cambodia to represent Laos at the 2023 SEA Games. The athletes include Dawson Sihavong, Angelina Messina, Astrid Dirkzwager, Araina Dirkzwager, Steven Isixiengmay, Jed Slayman and Timothy Slayman. Following the games a non-profit organization, Lao International Sports NFP, was formed to help other athletes represent Laos in international competition.
