Rare video of Khmer factory activities in 1965

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.

I know they were on their best behavior due to the filming, just can't help but think they did things more efficiently and safer back then.

I saw a multitude of these flicks at the Meta House. It looks clean and organize compare to now.

Most of those factories were set up with Chinese aid.
