Rithy Panh's "Paper Cannot Wrap Up Embers" film to be shown at UCLA on April 15, 2009

During the last half-century, Cambodia has witnessed genocide, decades of war and the collapse of social order. The documentary looks at an irreparable tragedy that is less visible, yet no less pervasive: the spiritual death that results when young women are forced into prostitution. The film presents stories of poor Asian women whose lives were violated and their destinies destroyed when their bodies were turned into items of sexual commerce.

Also known as Le papier ne peut pas envelopper la braise.
