META-HOUSE PHNOM PENH #37
Sothearos Boulevard, Songkhat Tonle Bassak, Khan Chamkarmon
From the Meta-House programme notes:
For years, the creators of the award-winning docu NARGIS – WHEN TIME STOPPED BREATHING (2010, 90 mins) could not reveal their true identities and could not screen the film in their own country. Burma's first ever feature-length docu captures the aftermath of the 2008 Cyclone Nargis, which killed nearly 140,000 people.
