EDUCATIONAL SALES AND PUBLIC SCREENINGS

In 2004, Cambodian union president Chea Vichea was assassinated in broad daylight at a newsstand in Phnom Penh. Two young men were arrested, convicted, and sentenced to twenty years in prison. Both of them had alibis.

Director Bradley Cox’s eye-opening one-hour documentary Who Killed Chea Vichea? offers an unprecedented look at the inner workings of modern Cambodia, raising important and current questions about the rule of law, democratic development and globalization. Banned in Cambodia.

Winner: George Foster Peabody Award (2012)

Who Killed Chea Vichea? is the double cinematic whammy: an intense and disturbing true drama and a testament to the power of documentary film.

An investigative masterpiece ... arresting.
Asian Educational Media Service


DVD cover A remarkable documentary on the tragic story of Chea Vichea’s murder, which illustrates a brutal disregard for human rights by unscrupulous political power.

— Peter Leuprecht, Professor, Université du Québec à Montréal
Former Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cambodia

Spectacular, so well made and able to produce a complex understanding of a complex situation in a short time. And visually and sonically, it’s absolutely superb.

— Charles Sullivan, Program Coordinator
Center for Southeast Asia Studies, University of Michigan

A devastatingly effective piece of investigative journalism ... Our screening of the film was very well received, and in fact left the audience a little stunned ... The lessons learned here were more immediately useful and had more impact than any university lecture.

— Sarah Maxim, Vice Chair
Center for Southeast Asia Studies, University of California - Berkeley

Most impressive, deeply thoughtful, beautiful in its intimacy and deep understanding, and restrained in its judgments.

— Michael Fink, Professor & Filmmaker
Rhode Island School of Design
