"Swept Under" - Short Fiction Movie on US Intervention in Cambodia

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

"Swept Under" - Short Fiction Movie on US Intervention in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

After receiving a housewarming rug from his sister, a Cambodian adoptee discovers a dark history hidden underneath its surface.

... [And yet, ]for all the countless films that have addressed such atrocities, there aren’t many that have successfully used a fantastical lens to collectively capture generational refugee trauma, genocide and the exacerbation of hostilities due to foreign intervention and escalation.
In less than ten minutes, Ethan Soo’s Swept Under accomplishes all of the above as it shines a light on an underexposed chapter in US-Cambodian relations, specifically the former’s military intervention in and carpet bombing of Cambodia as well as the role this played in helping the Khmer Rouge expand power during the Civil War.

Wow, this sounds like a completely uncontested load of crap. I guess the readership here has more important threads to battle amongst each other on.

Well I just watched that trailer and it seems like an unmitigated pile of shite.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
