Hi All,
I am writing from Women Make Movies, the leading non profit distributor of
films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be
interested to know about our new release RED WEDDING: WOMEN UNDER THE KHMER
ROUGE. This great educational resource explores critical issues around Human
Rights, Global Feminism, Violence against Women and Cambodian History.
RED WEDDING: WOMEN UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c849.shtml>
The Killing Fields in Cambodia became known to the world but little is known
about the struggles of the women left behind. From 1975-79, Pol Pot's
campaign to increase the population forced at least 250,000 young Cambodian
women to marry Khmer Rouge soldiers they had never met before. Sochan Pen was
one of them. At 16, she was beaten and raped by her husband before managing
to escape, though deeply scarred by her experience. After 30 years of
silence, Sochan is ready to file a complaint with the international tribunal
that will try former Khmer leaders. With quiet dignity, she starts demanding
answers from those who carried out the regime's orders.
