A Cambodian at Cannes

Congratulations to Rithy Panh on winning the 2007 France-Culture prize for Cinema to honour his body of work at the Cannes film festival yesterday.

He's a Cambodian filmmaker whose family died in the Khmer Rouge work camps. His films focus on the aftermath of the genocide in Cambodia. They include Rice People, S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, and the Burnt Theatre.
