The review from the New York Times:
Review: ‘Angkor Awakens,’ a Blistering Account of Cambodia’s Painful Past
Angkor Awakens: A Portrait of Cambodia
Updated 6 May 2016
NYT Critic’s Pick. Directed by Robert H. Lieberman. Documentary 1h 30m
The film wastes little time getting to that nightmare of genocidal self-destruction, but not before deftly covering the history preceding it: Cambodia’s prestige during the Angkor Empire in the ninth to 15th centuries; its years as a protectorate of France from the mid-19th century until its independence in 1953; a cultural flowering in the 1950s and early ’60s; and the impact of the United States’ bombing campaign during the Vietnam War. When a military coup in 1970 begot a government unfriendly to Communists, civil war ensued, presaging the ascendance of Pol Pot and the Communist Khmer Rouge in 1975.
And then, until 1979, came the horrors of a paranoid totalitarian dictatorship: the extermination of intellectuals; starvation; mass graves; the mountains of skulls made famous in the film “The Killing Fields.” An estimated two million perished. The graphic evidence here, in testimony on camera and in period photographs, is absolutely harrowing.
But “Angkor Awakens” concludes optimistically. Today, a young internet-savvy generation composes a majority. As that group deals with parents and grandparents still tormented by what one commentator calls “broken courage” — a form of post-traumatic stress — it offers hope to a badly scarred nation.

Probably many of you have seen it, but maybe not.
Angkor Awakens- I’ve just stumbled on it on Amazon prime, and finished watching it. It’s obviously a bit out of date on current affairs, and is a bit of an overview, even though it runs to 85minutes.
