In a Phnom Penh karaoke bar in 2009 Australian musician Julien Poulson hears the extraordinary voice of poor village girl Srey Thy. The result is tempestuous cross-cultural romance and the birth of The Cambodian Space Project, a thrilling musical explosion that wows audiences worldwide with sounds from the 1960s and '70s golden age of Cambodian rock. Filmed over five years this intimate documentary tells the story of performers whose struggle to overcome poverty, trauma and obscurity has never been easy.

    I think by far the best documentary on Cambodia is -

    The Cambodian Space Project: Not Easy Rock'n'Roll (2015) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4678238/

    It ties the past to the present and it doesn't bring the whole country to that one incident but also acknowledges it has affected so much.
