After it barely shook off the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia fell prey to a savage, corrupt, and authoritarian capitalism. For six years, Chris Kelly followed the bitter fight between the people living around the Boeng Kak lake in the capital Phnom Penh and the land developers seeking to evict them. The central characters of this documentary are two activist mothers and a monk who is censored for his taking a stance in various conflicts, protests, evictions. Their struggles blend into the dramatic protests around the return of opposition leaders to the country. With no context or outside information, this documentary has an immediate visceral impact, amplified by the strange and tragic beauty of the images.
