INA Restores & Digitizes Cambodian Footage Archive

Twenty-five years ago, Pol Pot was forcibly ousted from the Khmer rouge organization leadership and placed under house arrest, an event that will forever mark Cambodia’s history. INA has recently completed the restoration and digitization of 210 film reels at the request of the Kingdom of Cambodia's Culture and Fine Arts Ministry. Discover 40 hours of film from that archive, a unique, exclusive collection documenting a period in Cambodian history that cannot be ignored.
