Bun Heang Ung was a political cartoonist in Cambodia. He still is, but now lives in Australia because the Cambodian regime threatened his life - this after surviving the genocidal Khmer Rouge. He tells The State We're In host Jonathan Groubert why he’s never going to stop.

Very well done Bang; I love your response at the end: Freedom is priceless. That sums it all up about what we want most as humam being.
Bun Heang you are the greatest living khmer artist bar none. You are full of originality, wit and a sense of the absurd. i started to admire your work since the early days of Nokor Thom daily in 1969, when i was just a school boy. that spirit of defiance and thirst for social justice is there, as vibrant as ever. But you must move onto a greater dimensions of reality: i have yet to see you challenge khmer spiritual beliefs that are shackling us down. You have suffered through the KR years. Why do you not challenge our khmer notions of life and death, of good and evil, right and wrong? why do you settle back in the old norms? The Cat.
6:23 AM VERY WELL WRITTEN
