The Cambodian goverment has declared the film an illegal import
The Cambodian government has banned US director Bradley Cox’s documentary Who Killed Chea Vichea?, which investigates the mysterious 2004 assassination of Chea Vichea, one of Cambodia’s most influential union leaders who fought for years for increased wages and improved working conditions.
The film, which had its European premiere last month at the Cannes Independent Film Festival, was named one of Amnesty International’s Top Ten Movies That Matter.
Last month trade unionists attempted to hold the film’s Cambodian premiere at the very location where Vichea was murdered, but riot police raided the scene and dismantled and seized the screens.
The Cambodian government, led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, has declared the film an illegal import and announced that it intends to prevent any screenings “wherever they are held.”

The CCP government is so..........stupid. With today information technology, nobody and even Cambodian Strongman Hun Sen cannot stop this.
ReplyDeleteHe try his best 3:22AM! And you so smart with technology! You do not know how backward Cambodia is just 1 kilo outside of a city!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe live like monkey rule by svars!
The government has something to do with his murder , that's why they try to hide it . If the government has nothing to do with his murder , no one will care about the film . You don't need to be a rocket science to know that . The truth hurts doesn't it ? One day the truth will come out sooner or later , just wait and see.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 guys who were set up and accused by the gov't and the corrupted National Police should remain innocent until proven guilty. The false accusations of these 2 men were a cover up by the National Police. For, the witnesses at the scene had claimed the shooter was a young man on a motorcycle more likely to be a student, due to the student uniform he had worn during the incident.
ReplyDeleteTHE TRUTH WILL COME OUT!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen the Killer came from CPP or Criminal Peoples Party, You really want to hide everything from public eyes and ears. Too bad, The two guys that know everything about Chea Vichia killer! they both can't speak. Heng Soy Pov is in CPP jail and Hok Lundy AKA (Nguyen Van Nam)is in Hell.
ReplyDeleteCan Hun Sen stop the screening in the US? Only in monkey's country.
