When the Khmer Rouge storm his hometown, Arn Chorn-Pond is just a boy—playing tag, teasing his siblings, living a life that vanishes in a single day.
Ripped from his family and forced into a brutal labor camp, Arn learns fast: stay quiet, stay useful, stay alive. When soldiers ask if anyone can play music, he raises his hand—never mind he’s never touched an instrument. That split-second lie saves his life… for now.
Based on the true story of Cambodian genocide survivor and peace advocate Arn Chorn-Pond, Never Fall Down is a raw, haunting tale of unimaginable loss, terrifying resilience, and the power of music and courage in the face of atrocity.
Sometimes survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about refusing to disappear.
