Cambodia
Season 1
Episode 111
Cambodia has a rich tradition of storytelling from ancient times to today. We meet Ines, who grapples with historical trauma by telling fable-like stories as metaphors to the past. From ancient temples of Angkor; to luscious rice fields; the hip-hop art scene of Battambang, and the French Colonial whims of Phnom Penh; Cambodia is full of color, joy and a revival to the tune of better days ahead.
