"bloodlines"



bloodlines intertwines the use of interview, archival footage, and images of a traditional healing practice called gha kchal [koas khyal] to explore the relationship between the videomaker and her mother, a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Gha kchal, or coining, is a practice where the healer bruises the body, allowing the sick blood to rise to the surface.

western medicines are good but kaoh kjal is very affective. For over 20 years i never thought kaoh kjal would be any good until one day i tried it, when my body was aching all over. then i tried it it was magic. if nothing els seems to work try kaoh kjal.

I would try Kaoh Kjal first if it is not a life and dead situation; otherwise, why subject yourself to medicines that have long term side effect.

While some people may believe in it, the probably still believe in Santa Clause, The tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, and that the world is flat.

Well, if the world isn't flat, what shape is it in?
