Former Cambodian actress Peng Phan was imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge. She managed to escape from the detention center as hundreds around her, including many children, were massacred. Haunted by her memories of children murdered by the KR, Peng Phan decided to devote her life to Cambodia's youth and turn her home into an orphanage (57mins, 2010).
Peng Phan and children from her orphanage will attend this premiere screening at Meta House.
Also showing: The conscience of Nhem En by US director Steven Okazaki (2008, 26mins).
