"Remembering a Water Buffalo - Keo's Story" is a journey of a Laotian refugee . . . who fled Laos in the early 80's when the Communist party began to dominate the politics of the country. Keo grew up in a small village of twenty families, worked in the family rice paddies, attended the schools, spend his teenage years in the city of Savannakhet, and in his late teens and early twenties became a guerilla. He and his brother Ko, as well as thousands of others, fled the country when the Communist party demanded the citizens of Laos accept their of their theory of government. Keo and Ko landed in a refugee camp in Thailand, stayed for three years, and then chose the United States as their next home. Keo, a life-long gay man, kept one foot in his home country of Laos - and courageously became a citizen in this new and very contemporary Western culture. His is a story like that of thousands of refugees. Stride into the new country, but willingly and sometimes subconsciously, remember home . . . remember the rice paddies, the water buffalo, the family and friends . . . the culture.
