Kenya Prach is a survivor of the Cambodian genocide, known as the killing fields. Destitute and clinging to life, Kenya entered a refugee in Thailand. At night he would sneak out of the camp and fight for money in order to support his family. In America, with limited language and job skills Kenya would rely on his fighting skills again and pass on bokator and the ancient kun-khmer arts to a new generation. His martial arts skills have become a platform to fight crimes against humanity, stop human trafficking, and bring positive change to individuals and the world. Wanting to give a voice to those that were silenced by the Khmer Rouge Kenya published his life story in a book, Black Stone Hands. https://www.facebook.com/blackstonehands https://www.instagram.com/blackstonehands/ Buy Black Stone Hands: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Stone-Hands-Kenya-Prach/dp/1960572180 Music: Summer 1984 by RKVC
