'Angkor Awakes: A Portrait of Cambodia'. New documentary film.
Filmmaker Prof. Robert Lieberman ’65, physics, wanted to give his audience an unprecedented, in-depth look at Cambodia in latest documentary: Angkor Awakens: A Portrait of Cambodia.
“There are a number of films about Cambodia, but there are none with this depth,” Lieberman said.
The film chronicles the history of Cambodia, including the country’s brutal genocide of three million Cambodians at the hands of the ruling Khmer Rouge. Lieberman added that the film also focuses on modern day Cambodia, in order to investigate how the country has recovered from its brutal past.
