Tucked between Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is a tiny country that survived immeasurable hardship in the 1970s. The Cambodian people are proof that even the most horrific experiences can't destroy the human spirit.
The Cambodian Dancer is the compelling true story of a woman who escaped the unspeakable brutality and death that befell her fellow countryman and eventually built a life for herself in the United States. A dancer and a teacher, Sophany was one of the few artists to survive the Khmer Rouge, and her survival has helped to keep the traditions of Cambodian dance alive today.
