"Peasants in Distress"
1994
Directed by H.M. Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia

Set in 1993 when UN forces come to Cambodia during a time of political upheaval and civil war, this story of jealousy, courage, and betrayal, a classic love triangle with a twist -- two Resistance leaders fall in love with the same girl -- becomes one of wider significance, a story of a country and its innocent people caught up in war, their lives disrupted and their love destroyed. Cambodian with English subtitles. Starring Keo Kalyane, Yethara Chhani, Khai Prasith, and Tep Rhindaro.
Color. 75 minutes.
