Cambodia, 1965

Sidman has uploaded some excellent footage to YouTube, shot through rose-colored glasses in the pre-Khmer Rouge era. If you’ve never been to Cambodia, it’ll look like a cheesy 60s Disney documentary but if you’ve been to these places, you’ll probably want to cry. Parts 1 through 6 in the rest of this entry.

Also cheers to everyone who donated to Menu for Hope III. 58K is a fine effort. Raffle draw will be in the post-festive hangover season.

Agriculture, so includes a little food action.

    “National Cinema Society of Cambodia”. I wonder who’s still alive from that group.

    My Khmer-Mother-in-Law, and she is still writing movies.
