A Cambodian Spring

Naomi推薦：
《柬埔寨之春》記述一個貧困社區為了保衛家園，對抗土地掠奪、迫遷和腐敗政府的故事。

這部電影展現居民參與土地權利抗爭所展現的的勇氣與韌性。但更令我印象深刻的，是導演生動描繪行動者間的團結如何因政治分化策略產生的衝突而瓦解。紀錄片展現貧困的人們在「經濟成長」大旗下所遭受的不公不義，是個令人心碎的故事。

Recommended by Naomi:
A Cambodian Spring documents the resilience and challenges of an impoverished community as they fight for their homes in a battle against land-grabbing, forced evictions and a corrupt government.
The film portrays the courage among residents, as they take action into their own hands actively participating in land-rights protests. What struck me about the film was the director's poignant portrayal of how unity amongst activists can deteriorate due to internal conflicts fueled by political tactics of division and control. The documentary is a heart-breaking account of the injustices endured by poor individuals in the name of so-called ‘economic growth’.
