I watched this last night, very good documentary, but hard to watch knowing how the story ultimately ends.
I didn't think I would depress myself this much while researching a vacation.
Thanks again for sharing.

Kak Channthy: The Cambodian Space Project and a rock revival
By Andreas Illmer BBC News
21 March 2018
Cambodian singer Kak Channthy rose from poverty to perform in front of audiences worldwide.
Dubbed Cambodia's Amy Winehouse, she was the voice and face of a revival of the legendary 1960s rock scene that swept the country pre-genocide.
Her band, the Cambodian Space Project, became one of the few Cambodian rock bands to make it overseas.
Her death on Tuesday, in a car crash at the age of 38, has moved her fans around the globe.
"She was a Cambodian hero and now, so sadly, a legend of her people and her time," the band's co-founder and ex-husband Julien Poulson told the BBC.
"Her music, her voice, her life and her story have touched so many people from many different walks of life and from all around the word."
Kak Channthy came from a poor family in rural Cambodia and much of her story is that of the typical journey of a poor girl moving from the countryside to the city.
In Phnom Penh, she worked in a long line of tough jobs, earning in some cases less than a dollar a day.
"I was singing in a karaoke bar but in 2006 I wanted to have a go at singing professionally," she told the BBC in a 2017 interview.
"So I asked the boss of one beer garden to let me sing in front of him. But I was so nervous I dropped the microphone! Fortunately that day the boss accepted me and decided to hire me and I got paid $2 a day."
That's where she was spotted by Australian musician Julien Poulson and the two went on to form Cambodian Space Project.
"Channthy was inspired by the great Cambodian singers of the 1960s," Scott Bywater who played with her in the band as well as on side projects, told the BBC.
"In turn, she has been an inspiration to a new generation of Cambodian singers, excited by her revival of the music of their grandparents."...

http://www.khmertimeskh.com/50115088/fa ... -in-crash/The driver of the car that hit the tuk-tuk, Noun Sreynich, 21, stayed at the scene of the crash and was also recorded by TVFB as she described what happened.
“I drove a bit fast, but I had priority with the greenlight and I drove on the road normally while they had a red light, but they did not stop,” Ms Sreynich said in the video. “We have a camera in our car, it can be checked. If I had done something wrong, I would have run away.”

There’s more chance the TukTuk driver fucking up than a car driver.
Doesn’t matter now anyway. Damage has been done.

Well at least she's honest. Check the mirrors for a growing mob and pedal to the metal.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 9:32 amhttp://www.khmertimeskh.com/50115088/fa ... -in-crash/If I had done something wrong, I would have run away.”
