Dear all,
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights would like to draw your attention to "The Cause of Progress", a film that tells the story of the lives of three Cambodians caught up in the country’s chaotic and often violent economic progress, set against the backdrop of the shifting political, religious and familial landscapes of modern-day Cambodia. Shot over the course of more than three years, the film is a unique and intimate portrait of modern Cambodia. What is happening in Cambodia is happening all over the developing world, from South America to Africa to Eastern Europe – land is being colonised by the developed world and the rightful owners are being displaced. This film addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Although the film-makers have had decent support from various international organisations, and a lot of interest from broadcasters all over the world, these broadcasters would like to see the rough cut of the film before they agree to show it. While the film is almost complete and shooting now finished, work is now being done on editing, music, translations of footage, sound design and many other essential tasks, and money needs to be raised to cover these costs. Any support that you might be willing to provide would be hugely appreciated.
Please see this link to contribute to funding and also to see the trailer: http://www.indiegogo.com/The-Cause-of-Progress-Film.
Director and Cinematographer Chris Kelly is a documentary filmmaker and photographer who has been living in Cambodia for the past three and a half years filming this project. He has worked for more than ten years as a freelance editor and director and has worked as a video and photojournalist for Al Jazeera, the Global Post, France 24 and many other publications. His first film ‘GuinnessSize Me’ won “Best International Film” at the Atlanta Film Festival and was screened at more than 20 film festivals around the world.
Kind regards,
CCHR
