RED WEDDING: WOMEN UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE | A Women Make Movies New Release

[Women Make Movies Educate]

Hi All,

I am writing from Women Make Movies, the leading non profit distributor of films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be interested to know about our new release RED WEDDING: WOMEN UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE. This great educational resource explores critical issues around Human Rights, Global Feminism, Violence against Women and Cambodian History.  

RED WEDDING: WOMEN UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c849.shtml>

The Killing Fields in Cambodia became known to the world but little is known about the struggles of the women left behind. From 1975-79, Pol Pot's campaign to increase the population forced at least 250,000 young Cambodian women to marry Khmer Rouge soldiers they had never met before. Sochan Pen was one of them. At 16, she was beaten and raped by her husband before managing to escape, though deeply scarred by her experience. After 30 years of silence, Sochan is ready to file a complaint with the international tribunal that will try former Khmer leaders. With quiet dignity, she starts demanding answers from those who carried out the regime's orders.
