New Year Baby is a 2006 documentary film that tells the story of a family that survived the Cambodian genocide, and started a new life in the United States.

The main character, Socheata, was born in a refugee camp in Thailand, where her family had fled following the Cambodian genocide.

Her family left the refugee camp and emigrated to Texas, where they focused on creating a new life for themselves and their children.

The final chapter of the story reveals what happened after the Khmer Rouge fell and the Cambodian genocide ended.

The film concludes back in Texas, where Socheata brings out a wedding cake to celebrate the wedding ceremony that her parents had never been permitted to have, and her mother describes how proud and thankful she is for what Socheata's father had done to save their family and create a new life for them in America.
