A River Changes Course
Kalyanee Mam | Cambodia/US 2013 | 83 minutes
The south-east Asian country of Cambodia has largely disappeared from view in Britain since the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. In the intervening period it has become a vaguely communist free-market state with an expanding, low-wage economy, based on globalisation.
Winner of a Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, A River Changes
Course explores the impact of this globalization on both environment and
people, by following three families’ attempts to survive in contemporary
Cambodia, as forests are cleared, fish catches dwindle and economic
development undermines traditional life. The film thus makes the concept of
globalization real, tangible and human.
