III. About the Film
Directed by a former CNN war correspondent who first crossed into Cambodia as a young reporter, the film is a return — to villages, to witnesses, to a year the world chose to look past.
Five years in production. Filmed across three provinces. Built from archival footage, original interviews, and a single, unwavering question: what does it mean to remember?
