Screening Events ព្រឹត្តិការណ៍បញ្ចាំង

Chenla Theatre, PP

May 7, 2009

Premiered.

The film was officially launched by Dr. Andreas Selmici, Co-ordinator of the Civil Peace Service of the DED and Mr Chhaya Hang, Executive Director of KID.

One of the most moving and powerful moments of the night occurred after the screening when KID citizen advisor and protagonist of the film Mr. Uch Sun Lay, regaled the audience with an anecdote of his late wife and 3 kids who were killed by the Khmer Rouge simply due to their Vietnamese heritage, before breaking out into song with a spontaneous rendition of "Bandam Kuk Tuol Sleng (message from Tuol Sleng Prison)" by folk songwriter Mr. In Sophanara. Mr. Uch Sun Lay's melancholy song left an indelible impression on the audience.

Prominent Tuol Sleng survivor Mr. Chum Mey rounded off the night by praising the film for its accurate account of life during the Democratic Kampuchea regime and imploring the audience to file Victim Information Forms with the ECCC.
