Eighteen years in the
making, Cambodia Dreams is the stunning documentary
about a Cambodian family divided by the proxy war
that ravaged the country in the 1970’s and led to
civil war and revolution. It chronicles the parallel
lives of the family, half of whom went to one of the
refugee camps in Thailand while the other half
remained on their village in Cambodia. A seemingly
simple story is crafted with delicate minimalism and
enriched by the family’s matriarch Yan Chheing, who
has an extraordinary grasp of the complex issues
involved. Despite being trapped in a refugee camp
for 12 wasted years, the former rice farmer still
refuses to become a victim. The story is allowed to
unfold at its own pace – resulting in a film that
has astounding depth and emotion.
