In this profoundly moving follow-up to his Oscar-nominated film The Missing Picture, Rithy Panh continues his personal and spiritual exploration of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge era.
"A haunting and lyrical ode to Cambodian history and humanity.

The Corporate Coup d'État
A documentary by Fred Peabody | 90 minutes, 2018
In their eye-opening follow-up to All Governments Lie, filmmakers Fred Peabody and Peter Raymont visit America's Rust Belt to investigate how factory closures and outsourcing have left it desolate and hopeless...a crisis exacerbated by income inequality and a dysfunctional national government.
"Powerful. Peabody's documentary examines the ways in which corporate interests increasingly control society...as the film vividly illustrates, the phenomenon has increased rapidly in the age of Trump. The film certainly doesn't pull its punches...a horror film of the most realistic kind." -Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
