A riveting and illuminating documentary.
A comprehensive and compelling film that does justice to the anguished history of Cambodia.
Angkor Awakens: A Portrait of Cambodia is a superbly balanced picture of Cambodia then and now, a nation in a sort of stupor of post traumatic stress syndrome, denial and survivor's' guilt.
The graphic evidence here, in testimony on camera and in period photographs, is absolutely harrowing.
It is the Cambodian voices that give “Angkor Awakens” a welcome glimmer of light.
Angkor Awakens won’t wow you with artfulness, but as an analytical narrative of tragedy, testimony and a way ahead, it has an undeniable power.
