First They Killed My Father: Directed by Angelina Jolie

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It's being shown at Olympic Indoor Stadium tomorrow evening. It's free but by invite only. I'm going, I hope it's better than the book.

Yeah, it was good, great sets, costumes and cinematography. It did seem to gloss over many events though so it was difficult to feel any strong empathy with the main character, who was rather emotionless.

It's showing in Battambang tomorrow. After that you'll have to wait till it comes out on Netflix later this year.

Was it better than John Wick 2?

I hear that tickets were distributed via the Sangkats so maybe ask in your local sangkat office if they have any?

Taabarang, I doubt it, the Netflix crew are not about to let anyone borrow the tapes, and nobody would want a copy made by filming the screen with a phone in a noisy arena, even if someone managed to (they had staff looking out for this).
