In the Shadow of Angkor Wat - Currently Unavailable

For six centuries, the fabled kingdom of Khmer was Cambodia's most flourishing civilization. In the beautiful setting of its capital, Angkor, master builders created magnificent temples; the most majestic and monumental was Angkor Wat, the jewel in the crown of ancient Cambodian architecture. Today, the descendants of these early people still worship at this site, find a religious spirit in the statues, and read the stones: intricate bas-reliefs that tell of births, cooking, conflicts... everyday occurrences even then.

Curator's Comments: Mixes interviews with sages, children, farmers, researchers, and archaeologists to reveal an Angkor still inhabited by the spirits of the ancestors and ancient gods, despite all the wars.
