"Left By The Ship"

​My educational resource is a curriculum that provides guideline for lesson on the topic about the impacts of US's war and military's presence on other country. It examines the missing narratives of this topic. The curriculum was developed around the documentary called "Left By The Ship", which described the experiences of Filipino Amerasian Children in Angeles City where the former US's Subic Naval Base once located. These children were "Left By The Ship" when the Naval Base inactivated. Typically, war and military forces are viewed as destructive, which became the scapegoat for economic lost and human casualty, rather than the results of a dehumanizing structure. But more importantly, the conversations about the impacts of wars and military forces are usually left out those who born as Bui Doi [Vietnamese term means Children from the ashes], and who have to live their lives being seen as a mistake.
