The Khmer version of Who Killed Chea Vichea? was screened for the first time in Cambodia on Labor Day, May 1, 2011.

It was the first time ever this documentary film was shown in full, without disruption, without threat from the government. It was shown at the headquarters of the Sam Rainsy Party. Chea Vichea was a founder of the party and led many strikes with Mr. Sam Rainsy, the president of the party.

Workers came on their own, students rode their bikes and cut classes, moto taxi drivers and party supporters joined the audience. It was widely attended by local and international media in Cambodia.

The Cambodian version is very powerful as there are moments and situations that are best understood in Cambodian language.

There were tears, shock and anger.

Tears as we miss Chea Vichea.

Shock as he was lying in a pool of blood.

Anger as we know the truth but no action has been taken.

The power of the film will make it impossible for the public to see it in a public space, unless there is a change of leadership in Cambodia.

The truth must be told. We will continue to tell it through this very powerful film. We urge you all to take the film to each and every group you know. For justice.

I watched like five times and to me it is very clear that Hun Sen has Chea Vichea blood in his hand. I am sure Hun and his rulling parties will definatly pay the price for what they have done. Just wait and see, mark my word, because god knows every move you make and that the righeous will live forever and the wicked will be terminated (proverbs). Aust
