Li-Da was born in Cambodia and adopted to the UK, just before the Khmer Rouge won the civil war in April 1975. For over 20 years she has been trying to find out who her parents were and what happened to them. Since the names on her exit papers were most probably faked, she had little hope until DNA tests became an option. For the first time, it has been possible for her to find blood relatives.Li-Da’s background is factual TV and independent filmmaking for UK and International broadcasters. Two of her documentaries are about her adoption and her search: ‘Belonging’ (History Channel, 2003, ITV 2004) and ‘Prue Leith: Journey With My Daughter’ (Channel 4, 2020).It was 77 year-old Soth, who had been told her daughter had died but in fact had been adopted overseas without her knowledge, who inspired Li-Da to help other Cambodians through DNA and starting with Soth. Having successfully campaigned to raise money for Soth to be in the four main DNA databases, Li-Da hopes that if Soth’s daughter is anything like her, she will also take a test in search of her biological mother, and in doing so be reunited before its too late.Until more Khmer people take a test to increase the DNA pool, only distant relative matches are likely. Li-Da was delighted to find Meta and Kari along her DNA path to this end. Teaming up as DNACambodia galvanises, strengthens and consolidates their individual projects which have the same end goal.
