geovalin Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Brent Crane A new project from an American director uses an imaginative plot to depict the problems of rural education in Cambodia A US filmmaker is producing a short film highlighting problems in the Cambodian school system – featuring a young fisherman who turns to crime in order to pay for an education – with hopes to turn it into a full-length feature. “The Cambodian Road is not [just] another film about the problems of developing nations,” stressed director David Brundige, who this month surpassed a fundraising target of $5,000 on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter. In addition to raising awareness about the challenges associated with rural education, he said, both the short and planned feature were meant to be entertaining. The plot centres on 14-year-old named Chhen, a fisherman who wants to become a teacher like his uncle who was murdered by the Khmer Rouge. His hope for an education lies in Siem Reap, home to the nearest high school, but Chhen’s dreams are dashed when his friendship with a Vietnamese girl is discovered by his parents. read more: http://www.phnompenhpost.com/post-weekend/children-lead-life-crime-gain-education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it pays! It keeps police and the judiciary with jobs! Otherwise there would be no need for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
