Beginning in the summer of 2004, Saint Paul and Ramsey County have started the process of becoming home to several thousand new Hmong residents arriving from the Wat Tham Krabok refugee camp in Thailand. For these new arrivals, as for the Hmong citizens that preceded them and all of the refugees and immigrants who now call Minnesota home, this journey represents a major emotional, physical and spiritual transition. "Who Will I Become?" "Kuv Yuav Peem Tsheej Ua Tug Tuabneeg Zoo Le Caag?" is a compelling and powerful reminder to us all that Minnesota is a land of immigrant peoples who have each made similar life journeys. "Who Will I Become?" "Kuv Yuav Peem Tsheej Ua Tug Tuabneeg Zoo Le Caag?" is available on DVD and videotape through the Saint Paul -Ramsey County Department of Public Health, and is also available for checkout through the Ramsey County Library System. The show was developed in the Spring of 2004 through a unique partnership between Twin Cities Public Television, the Minnesota Department of Health, Hmong American Partnership, St. Paul - Ramsey County Department of Public Health and Hmoob Thaj Yeeb (Hmong Peace).
