In the second of our series on independent media in South East Asia, Gary Bryson goes to Cambodia, a country struggling to join the global community but still haunted by the ghosts of its genocidal past.
It's a legacy in which democracy is a loose idea at best, and where saying too much can sometimes be dangerous.
Gary Bryson met many Cambodians, including a radio DJ who's spent time in jail more than once for his defiant remarks.
We're also introduced to a psychiatrist who refuses to be named, who tells of the human cost of Cambodia's culture of silence.
But Gary Bryson started at a Phnom Penh university where students were gathering for a weekend internet and technology conference.
They're the 'cloggers', a collective of Cambodian bloggers who write under the radar of government censorship.
'What Can I Say in Cambodia?' was presented by Gary Bryson and produced by Gary Bryson and Neil Trevithick.
The series is a co-production of ABC Radio National and the BBC World Service.
Presenter: Gary Bryson

For the people who are being repressed and persecuted all the time, silence becomes mother reason to escape from being executed or persecuted. They believe it is the way to have their life save but they are deadly wrong. At the end, they are oppressed and killed. The way to get out is more and smaller till they are all gone by the mechanic.
