VEAL THOM, KAMPONG SPEU, CAMBODIA - 2003/06/01: Sour Soeur, 43, lost his legs to a landmine when he was a soldier in the army. He now lives with his wife and five kids in a home they built in Veal Thom. He gets around the village in his wheelchair, and works his fields on the ground, pulling himself along on his hands.
Here he makes lunch for his family in the cooking area under their home.
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)
