The Sea Wall (French, not Khmer)Acclaimed Cambodian director Rithy Panh (S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine) reveals the never-ending struggle of Cambodia s rice-paddy farmers In this powerful story of loss and survival. RICE PEOPLE is a remarkable early feature film from Panh who in 1979 narrowly escaped a Khmer Rouge labor camp and the genocide that claimed most of his family. Poeuv and Om fight everything from cobras to floods to disease to grow a successful rice crop. When Poeuv dies from an infection caused by stepping on a thorn while plowing Om must forge on to take care of her seven daughters. Adding to her troubles is the Old World attitude that her daughters are financial burdens not the assets that sons would be. Panh s dynamic camerawork throws us into the midst of the oozing mud of the paddies which are so tightly linked to the life and death struggle of the rice people.

I'm trying to get my hands on Paper Cannot Wrap Ember (2007), The People of Angkor (2003) and The Land of the Wandering Souls (2000). I'd be very much obliged if anyone came up with some links for those (or any other Khmer language films that they'd recommend).French Indochina, 1931. In the Gulf of Siam, a Widow and her two children, Joseph, 20, and Suzanne, 16, barely survive by exploiting rice fields located much too close to the ocean. Every year their crops are flooded and their only hope lies in the construction of a seawall. The mother refuses to give up and desperately battles both the sea and the corrupt colonial bureaucrats.
