VEAL THOM, KAMPONG SPEU, CAMBODIA - 2003/08/01: A man chops a windfall tree in the main part of Veal Thom village.
Deep in the hinterlands, down a rutted dirt road, a small village shelters the remnants of Cambodia’s civil war. Some 200 disabled veterans - both Khmer Rouge and government soldiers - and their families have moved to Veal Thom, or “Big Field.” There they build huts, grow rice, cultivate flowers and do what society will not allow in their homelands: live in peace.
Though they lost limbs and parts of their lives in Cambodia's civil war, their wounds mark them as outcasts in the Cambodian society.. (Photo by Jerry Redfern/LightRocket via Getty Images)
