SEE HOW THE LEAF PEOPLE RUN BY MICHELE LEE
ABC RADIO NATIONAL AIRPLAY, 26 AUGUST 2012
"'Here. Here, here. We are here … Listen!' So speak the spirits of the dead, in Michele Lee’s See How the Leaf People Run. This is the story of the Hmong people, an ethnic minority originally residing in South-East Asia and their bloody history of resistance to Communist forces in the Vietnam and related wars. It’s also the story of Michele’s own ancestry. And a story about ghosts."
