A Cambodian Spring
An intimate and unique portrait of three people caught up in the chaotic and often violent development that is shaping modern-day Cambodia. The film charts the growing wave of land-rights protests that led to the Cambodian Spring, and the tragic aftermath that followed. Fighting for what you believe in and standing united with your fellow activists has never been as hard to accomplish as when facing prison, power, and corruption.
