    When soldiers arrive at his hometown in Cambodia, Arn is just a kid, dancing to rock 'n' roll, hustling for spare change, and selling ice cream with his brother. But after the soldiers march the entire population into the countryside, his life is changed forever. Arn is separated from his family and assigned to a labor camp. Working in the rice paddies under a blazing sun, he sees the other children, weak from hunger, malaria, or sheer exhaustion, dying before his eyes.

    Robert A. Oriel says: "compelling story of triumph and survival"

    Would you listen to Never Fall Down again? Why?

    Yes this was a remarkable story told honestly about survival during the khmer rouge killing fields days of Cambodia's dark hour.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I liked this man (boy) Arn and his energy, intelligence and drive to survive. Also his humanity and generosity.


    What about Ramon de Ocampo???s performance did you like?

    It felt like it was Arn himself speaking. very convincing performance. Heartfelt.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?


    The entire book was moving. It was an unbelievable epic of man's cruelty to man and the survival of one boy admidst the chaos and unhumanity,
