This is a new film made for Amnesty International about the precarious life of rural farmers faced with forced evictions and land disputes in Cambodia. This particular case follows the village of Chi Kreng during their more than two year struggle against a wealthy and well connected local businessman. The prisoners have been released, but the village are still without their land.

Cambodia has over 14 millions people but New Zealand has only less than 5 millions look at the difference between the two goverment! And ask Why ? and Why not ?
"Christchurch earthquake:
government wants to demolish 5,000 homes
The New Zealand government has offered to buy thousands of the most badly quake-damaged houses in Christchurch so it can demolish them.
Announcing the buyout plan, John Key, the prime minister, said some land in the worst-hit areas was so unstable it would be impossible to rebuild on it "for many years".
The decision means land in the razed suburbs will effectively be abandoned in the city's rebuild.
Christchurch, the country's second biggest city, was devastated by major earthquakes in September 2010 and again in February this year, and continues to be rocked by strong aftershocks which are causing more damage.
Mr Key said engineers have divided the city, home to 350,000 people, into four zones.
The government will offer to buy all 5,000 properties in the worst affected areas, classed as red zone.
Householders who accept must assign their right to an insurance payout to the government in return.
He estimated the net cost to the government would be up to NZ$635 million (£323 million).
About 10,000 houses in an orange zone need further investigation, while a further 100,000 in a green zone can be rebuilt.
Properties yet to be assessed comprise a white zone.
The worst-hit suburbs are all in low-lying eastern areas of the city that suffered liquefaction, a process in which the ground turns to liquid during the shaking and leaves a quagmire of sludge.
As beleaguered residents, frustrated by months of waiting for the announcement, pored over online maps to see which zone their street was in, Mr Key pledged: "The government remains fully committed to rebuilding Christchurch."
He went on: "Since September last year, the government has been working to provide certainty for residents, while recognising many people have their life savings tied up in their homes."
The prime minister said the move was "the next step in the government's ongoing work to give the people of greater Christchurch a clearer picture of what their future holds".
The cost of rebuilding Christchurch has been estimated at NZ$15 billion (£7.6 billion) or more."
When you all fight back??
I would like to congratulated my colleagues CPP for their great effort. Boeung Kak Lake residents are now being evacuated beyond this point. Thus, we're going to replaced this plot of hactres with new skyscrapers, malls, boardwalk and park. Please accept our apologied that this situation had been solved.

Ah Chkuot, Ah Doctor Lob, Ah Cheam Yab.
Shut your mouth hole.
To Beung Kak lake residents and all Khmers,
If somebody tries to help you such as Suong Sophorn and got beaten by the brainless polices, you don't stand still and watch. You must do with whatever you can to stop these brainless polices. When you fiercely fight back, these stupid polices will think twice before they initiate violence again next time. The same perception should apply to the expansionist YiekCongs too.
You got to believe these animals (polices) are afraid of dying like you too.
Stop standing still, stop crying and stop begging people to help you. Everything has price, and it costs something to get it. The helper like our hero Suong Sophorn has only one life to live like you too. Don't let him die in vain. We need collective efforts to successfully defend our right.
Stop acting chicken Khmer people !!
5:14AM,
you are ah fuckin'youn grown in Cambodia, you write khmer very good. your race come to cambodia, kill khmer and still khmer land; one day you will pay for it. Khmer revolution is coming. FUCK YOU AH YOUN RACE!
