Hmong Culture Night 2008 entitled, Tuav Plig Rawv, takes us along with a young Hmong man Tub Npis through time and space to find answers and truths to his questions of his origins. Tub Npis is led back to the past where he co-exists, interacts, and lives with those who experienced the pain and suffering of the “Secret War” in Laos during the Vietnam era. He lives the tragic history of his roots to find out who he is as an individual and more importantly, who he is as a Hmong.
