* History of Hmong TV Broadcasting
Hmong TV Broadcasting
was founded by Kou Her Chialy, also known as Doua Her Chialy in
1989. He went to Austin Technical College to pursue the
degree of TV/Radio Broadcasting. When he had
graduated, he wanted to produce a 24 HR Hmong TV Broadcasting
but due to financial disability he was not able to pursue this
during that time. Therefore he became a producer for
movies instead of broadcasting this TV.
Mr. Her was the First Hmong Movie Producer that produced an-all-Hmong
Cast Movie, meaning that all the actors were Hmongs.
As of now, there are
many Hmong businesses that are now producing Hmong movies which
had pleased him. He's thankful for those who are producing
these movies, because the Hmong people can now understand the
language, meanings, and storylines of the movies.
There were three types
of movie that Mr. Her produced:
1.) Romance Movie, Generation in-between - Kev Hlub Txhiav Tsi
Tau part 1 & 2
2.) Action Movie, Futile Destiny (Hmong Chaofa) - Tog Xeem Paj
Cais
3.) Culture, Stolen Bride - Hmoob Zij Poj Niam
After producing these
movies, he wanted to do a research on how to become a better
producer and a director, so he took another step into this
business field and started translating the top movies in the
Hong Kong Movies (such as Jet Li, and other popular celebrity's
movies) into the Hmong's dialect in year 1991 up until 2002.
Hmong TV
Broadcasting's vision is to be a mirror that reflects Hmongs
themselves to become a better person during their lifespan, and
reach out to as many Hmong people there are in the world with
the Hmong TV Broadcasting that shows eye witnessing news, talk
shows, businesses, services, communication, and entertainment.
As of today, as you can see on our Homepage we now have a 24 /7
Hmong TV Live Broadcasting ONLINE that you can watch from your
computer or connect to your TV at home, or work. Although this
is our very first time to show our Hmong broadcast live
online to TV, we are pleased to offer you this feature.
This year of 2008, he is going to produce and direct the Hmong
TV Broadcasting for the everyone, and he will try his best to
train his team members to provide you a high quality program to
the world.
Here is more of an in-depth history of the Hmong People.
* History of the
Hmong People
-Hmong is a group of people from the mountainous regions of
Laos. They fought
under General Vang Pao with the American CIA during the Vietnam
War. As the war progressed the power of the communist regime was
too much for the Americans to detain. The American soldiers
pulled out of Indo-China leaving Hmong soldiers and civilians as
well as other ethnic groups vulnerable to the communist regime.
There was an agreement between General Vang Pao and the CIA that
Hmong people would be given refuge in America should the country
fall under communism.
The fall of Laos took
place in 1975 that brought about massive numbers of Hmong who
fled Laos seeking refuge in Thailand. The first wave of Hmong
refugees to arrive in America begun in early 1976. Migration
spread through out much of the United States. Social Services
had to learn how to respond to the needs of the newly arrived
Hmong. Language was the greatest barrier of all. Many applied
for public assistance. However, many had formal education and
were able to maintain minimal wage jobs.
Here is an estimated
Hmong population list across the world.
The est. total 20,598,300
individuals living in the
