Pass or Fail in Cambodia Town (2014)
By the numbers, the untold story of Southeast Asian dropouts

But Southeast Asian Americans have some of the lowest high school completion rates in the nation. Visit Long Beach, California — the city with America’s largest Cambodian community — to find out why this educational crisis is occurring and what people are doing about it.
