Rally with A
River Changes Course
In recent weeks, we have
been sharing
A River Changes Course
with communities across
the world -- Seattle,
Sydney, Austria,
Belgium, Munich, San
Francisco, Seoul,
Bologna, London,
Bristol, and Edinburgh,
to name a few --
culminating with a
week-long screening at
MoMA in New York. And as
we begin to open
discussions in Cambodia
and all over the world
through our screening
events, the issues of
factory labor rights,
land-grabbing, and
over-fishing are
exploding across
Cambodia.
In
response
to these
recent
events,
we're
launching
our
CHANGING
THE
COURSE
campaign
on
Rally.org
to help
change
Cambodia's
future.
We're
rallying
to bring
A
River
Changes
Course
to 60
universities
and
villages
across
Cambodia
over the
next 12
months.
Through
these
screenings,
Cambodians
will be
encouraged
to
analyze
their
current
situation,
and
within
their
respective
communities,
determine
how to
respond
to this
rapid
change.
Your
contribution
will
help
open the
door to
critical
dialogue
and
discussion
about
the most
significant
and
challenging
issues
facing
Cambodia
today.
Please
contribute
$25
to
our
CHANGING
THE
COURSE
campaign
and
support
a
movement
to
inspire,
educate,
and
empower!

With the election
exactly one month
away, Kalyanee will
be making a trip to
Cambodia. Alongside
The Documentation
Center of Cambodia,
we will capture
scenes from the
election - from
door-to-door
canvassing in
villages to noisy
demonstrations in
Phnom Penh - in
order to best
understand the
continual evolution
of Cambodia's
democratic system.
In an escalation of
protests, 4,000 factory
workers, like Khieu Mok,
marched into a Nike
factory last month,
demanding higher wages
and better working
conditions. This month,
500 protesters from 24
communities across the
country gathered in
Phnom Penh to draw
attention to land
disputes they say are
frequently ending with
imprisonment as well as
eviction. Through this
trip, we hope to tell
the many stories of the
Cambodian people as they
make their voices heard
in this election.
