Meet the sisters keeping Cambodia's dying arts alive

“When I was 10 years old, I saw a film about the Killing Fields,” Lomorpich Rithy recalls. “I said, OK, that’s a Cambodian-Hollywood film. “But 15 years later, it’s still all about the Khmer Rouge. Khmer Rouge and Angkor Wat are the only two things that outside people know about us. What about my generation?” While Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father may have reminded the international community of Cambodia’s heavy history, the nation’s arts still remain unknown to most outside the country.

When the chips were down, this amazing artist stepped in to save her former mentor. Proud to have been able to report on these inspiring humans.

From April to July 2016, I travelled, mostly by bicycle, across New Zealand, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, assisting with a story-collecting project. This is some of the local traffic we encountered in Laos. There's a few other photos I took available on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/charmarchad/ and others to follow.
