this movie shows how Cambodia was before the genocide of the Khmer Rouge nightmare.. so wonderful to see the country was so alive and vibrant and its people were so happy and enjoying life in these beautiful years
Not before the khmer Rouge. It before the French Empire that stretched to Vietnam War, and the Khmer Rouge. Khmer poeple pleases don't forget Cambodia have 3 wars back to back. Land was lost to Thailand and Vietnam because the French Empire give it to them. Is the US, Europe, China, and Vietnam. Make Cambodia go to wars. 3 wars back to back. Because them.
Lucky luck you are missing something. Khmer have gone to war with Thai and they lost and they also gone to war to Vietnam and they lose. Khmer is willing to turn Cambodian into a French protectorate (not a colony). In a nutshell we get rekt by everyone around us and we have to ask for help. After they got back on their feet the Khmer Rouge came, our own people decided to kill each other due communist ideology.
I lost it when the lady said she told them she was a banana seller.. you can see her pain and how much sadness this brings her everyday. I can’t wait to see this documentary. Such beautiful music I came to love so much and it makes me sad that this had to happen.. but their legacy and music will always be a reminder of them and that makes me happy to know they are still alive through their music.
Just finished watching this movie earlier and it was AMAZING. So much footage and so many interesting stories that have never seen the light of day until now. The ending had me teary eyed, but man... I'm so glad this movie was made. The Cambodian spirit for arts and culture has to stay alive!
It's available on ITunes 8/4/2015. Just watched it yesterday with my hubby. Can't wait to show this to my mom, uncle and my grandfather. My mom used to to tell me about her favorite singers like Sieng Dy, Pen Ran, and Ros Sereysothea. My grandfather loved listening to Sinn Sisammouth and as for my uncle he loved the rock n roll music by Yol Aurang. He even made up a Khmer band here in the USA back in the 80s. Some of the lingering questions in the back of my mind since I was a child has been answered. I hope there will be more movies and documentaries about the history of Cambodia because us young american-Cambodians don't know a lot about our Khmer culture. It's almost as though there's a piece of the puzzle that's missing. Well this documentary explains it all very well.
I seen this film through CAAM FEST. This is an amazing film. Thank you putting this film together. I like the fact that it focuses on the aspect of Khmer music and its influences during the 1950s-1970s. Can't wait to bring my parents to see this film in May
I had to say as a foreign born Khmer After 22 years i have no idea what my people are soo passionate full of rich culture. Am heavily touch and wishes to discover more and hope to shariah this golden ages once more
It's so good to see the comments here are respectful. Beautiful documentary. My brother gave me the DVD. He served in Vietnam and said this explains best why he was never the same "Easy going Thomas" he was when he left home from Seattle in 1966. Beautiful film and music. This really humanizes cultures that were unfamiliar to us. At that time the news fed us a very different perspective from well calculated news Feeds. What a lovely documentary. US soldiers did what they were told. Nobody came out "okay". The world leaders put an entire generation of our brothers and some sisters in an impossible position. Thomas does humanitarian aid is SE Asia now. I still thank these boys for their service. They did what they were told to was serving their country against the "bad guys". The leaders today know better, but don't seem to learn. The soldiers of that era either had justified breakdowns or turned to helping fields for careers. The leaders keep on keeping on the same path, unfortunately.
As much as my heart fill with hatred toward the act of bombing, I'm so sorry that your brother and others were put in a difficult position. I'm glad he is able to find his peace.
There were no bad guys, the good guy created the bad guy, America and Vietnam and Cambodia is way way to far to say that those boy were there to serve their country, because was never ever in danger from those people, those American boy was there to serve their leader egos and political ideology, that's all, but never for their country or principle of humanity.
Reading this comment again after 3 years, maturing a little bit more, learning more about the complexity of the world and human nature, i realized that the world is not so black and white. things are very complex. Hope you and your brother are doing well. May Peace Be With You.
No "good guys or bad guys", sadly. People fighting for their country, and people fighting because they were told to. When a foreign country you never saw strikes your country with bombs what do you do ? Im my corner of the world we call them patriots.
So true. Had the coup detat financed by the US government had not happened in Cambodia , pol pot may not hv had a chance to take control ...😢 but we still don’t learn and people still think Marxism is ok as it is being paraded around in the US today
So much respect to the music development back in the days in Cambodia. Such a vibrant and energetic community and also country as a while. That was Khmer music in its prime!
The movie has recalled lots of histories about my country. I had been hesitated believe in my parents and elderly people talking about the Pol Pot or Khmer Rough Regime and even I have been reading many books about such worst regime. It's remained an unbelievable thing till i watched the movie in the land of U.S. I went to see the movie in Tucson last June 10, 2015 with my friends, where there were some errors for sub title (Khmer-English) have been found. Anyway the film was so good and I am proud to see the movie talking about Cambodia but i am still so sad about US bombs on my country for 200 days. :(
Just saw this wonderful documentary film at the Balboa theater this evening. I love it so much I went online and ordered 2 T-shirts and a soundtrack! Can't wait to hear it again.
I enjoy learning about different music scenes and the influencing factors that govern them. This was such a great film. I personally know many Khmer and see how they live with respect and honor in understandable ways I could get behind and I am sorry for the loss of all who perished in the killing fields. I am so glad this history was researched and this film was able to come alive.
omg i absolutely love this music. ive been hoping there was a documentary about this music. i cant wait to get this and watch it. oh and pandora has a huge collection of this music and the movie City of Ghosts is what originally exposed me to this amazing music and i am truly forever grateful.
When I was 2, my family went through this horrific ordeal. My parents went through hell to keep us safe. They separated from their kids for life. My mission is go back after 40 plus year later to give back. Paying forward, there are kids that have nothing, there are some still not knowing where the next meal comes from. What happened to us in the 70s nothing will ever completely take that pain away.
Many thanks to John Pirozzi for re-telling this great story and giving us this gift..Looking forward to seeing the movie..Best to everyone involved with this project...
A very good documentary!! I didn't know a lot about Cambodia and this documentary is made in such a way that it is understandable to everyone. Loved it! Greetings from Poland! PS. I am so sad I don't understand what they're singing but the music and voices are beautiful!
Unix Linux and what your point here. The bombing is the spark and the fuel. The Khmer Rouge use this fact to recruit more follower to their cause. Ideology are the core to what make Khmer people kill their own nation men. Both the west and commies have a fault to blame in the Khmer Rouge coming to popularity.
@@heavenseeker2320, In short, the main cases that it occurred because of the ideological between the Soviet Union and the USA democracy while at that time Cambodia tried to be a neutral country, but failed. Plus, Cambodia involved assisting the Communist ( Viet Cong) which let Vietcong armies went through the Cambodia border to fight with (Veit Minh) that was supported by the US. And pushed Cambodia in the Civil wars in 1970-1979 and so on to the late 80s. # Cambodia themselves felt regretted from helping Veit Cong since then. Also, king Sihanouk also wanted to get back to be allied with the US, but it was too late for him...so on.
Amazing to see in the comments that there are people willing to defend the Khmer Rouge.... Yeah, there was a lot of blame to go around in South East Asia in the 20th century, but the Khmer Rouge were a special kind of evil who were responsible for the deaths of millions because they were professionals, artists and some because the merely wore glasses. It's amazing that people would stand up and defend them.
This is a fascinating film. Both sad and joyous. I love the music. We should learn from history. Those who endeavour to control popular culture ALWAYS have malintent, whatever country we are in at the time.
I'd like to watch the whole full movie of "Don't Think I've Forgotten" Cambodia lost Rock n' Roll. I'm come from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I was the trailer from Facebook by friend sharing, I keep wondering where the film show start I keeps waiting until now.
Really excited to see this!!!!! When I saw the drakkar poster I was so happy. It’s fascinating because of the setting in which this scene was born, died and became reborn (although it’s rebirth is extremely controversial)
😢❤🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🙏how much I love my old Khmers country I’ve learn from my parent and older sibling my parent has such a prosperious time and to all my beloved Khmers people during that time.

hey, absolutely love this music but know very little about it, i'm in phnom penh for the next 2 days does anyone know of any galleries or something like that would showcase this staff. would be amazing to get a feel for this country before everything changed
a bit too late but anyway: for this music era look up "ros serey sothea" and "sinn sisamouth", two the most important cambodian surfrockers. moreover knowledge about the mentality concerning the king (who even stayed when the (communist!) khmer rouge regime took power) should be important
Cheers dude unfortunately I'm long back from my travels still listen regularly to that great music. Cambodian rocks is a fantastic comp not of mention some funky UA-cam playlists. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming movie. Cheers for the reply keep on jamming....
Can someone name the instrumental song that immediately follows the segment on Sinn Sisamouth's Go Go period? It plays during the part discussing the bands hanging out at the night market and Phnom Penh being the Pearl of South East Asia. Sounds killer but haven't found it on this soundtrack.
I know it's been three years but I wanna help. I think the song you're referring to is where Sisamouth sings "a go go" in the beginning? The title is ស្រណោះសម្ដី (Sronos Somdey).

Does anyone know the opening song? I love it, and it's not featured on the soundtrack. Also, does anyone know where I could find the full credits showing all the music played. Kind regards.
I cant the song right now, but the artist clearly is Sinn Sisamouth. I guess that Ros Serey Sothea featured it, because the songs he sang alone usually were a bit more chilled. Those two are the most famous artist of this era. So if youre interested in this music style, look those up. (Serey Sothea actually is the sister of the woman covered in this documentary)
This documentary is not just the khmer Rouge. Is about WW2 the French Empire that stretched to Vietnam War, and the Khmer Rouge. Khmer poeple pleases don't forget Cambodia have 3 wars back to back. Land was lost to Thailand and Vietnam because the French Empire give it to them. Is the US, French, China, and Vietnam. Make Cambodia go to wars. 3 wars back to back. Because them.
From Khmer #Mekong, we all stand to protect our country, land, culture and language. Dont forget our great culture. From #KhmerKrom #Mekongdelta with all love. Susu na
Jason Raider The song is "I will starve myself to death" by Ros Sereysothea :) If you are looking for a good album of cambodian 60s psych rock, check out 'Electric Cambodia' it pretty much rocked my world musically
You can try one thing, check the playlist "A little selection of pre 1975 cambodian songs" on my channel, in the description is included a link for this doc (you'll have to make copy paste of it).
Cambodia so beautiful country and emprie in 1950-1976 .happy dance rock peole.but cambodia in 1975-1980 polpot and khmer rought fight khmer people but khmer is noting beautiful in 1980.
As the pop culture flourish in Phnom Penh, the people are enjoying so much that they forget and ignore the threat of massive corruption and communist in the jungle gaining more support from the exiled king.

The French gave back the land to Cambodia that was stolen from Cambodia from Thailand

I cant the song right now, but the artist clearly is Sinn Sisamouth. I guess that Ros Serey Sothea featured it, because the songs he sang alone usually were a bit more chilled.
Those two are the most famous artist of this era. So if youre interested in this music style, look those up.

Does anyone know the name of the singer at the end with the haunting voice?
Don't mark my words, but I think it's Ros Serey Southea...
Jason Raider The song is "I will starve myself to death" by Ros Sereysothea :) If you are looking for a good album of cambodian 60s psych rock, check out 'Electric Cambodia' it pretty much rocked my world musically
Katrina Vogl Thank you!
Jason Raider they have released the soundtrack to the documentary. Although, that particular one wasn't in there, it still got many gems.

+Eric It was recorded in Liverpool, Cambodia.
If the khmer rouge didn't happen, Cambodia could have been an economic powerhouse like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Its absurd how hard this movie is to watch online in Aus. If anyone has a way that doesnt involve a VPN hit me up
I'm from Australia too. Did you find a way to watch it? If so tell me, please and thank you?
You can try one thing, check the playlist "A little selection of pre 1975 cambodian songs" on my channel, in the description is included a link for this doc (you'll have to make copy paste of it).
🤔🤔🤔🙂👽😎Dam , Cambodian rock from that era KICKS ASS. ❤🇰🇭🙂👽😎🍻🍕🙏
Cambodia so beautiful country and emprie in 1950-1976 .happy dance rock peole.but cambodia in 1975-1980 polpot and khmer rought fight khmer people but khmer is noting beautiful in 1980.
At that time Phnom Penh and Saigon were lovely places. French was widely used like Paris of the East.
🇰🇭 so amazing
Is this likely to be released in the UK?
am crying for my beautiful ancestors
As the pop culture flourish in Phnom Penh, the people are enjoying so much that they forget and ignore the threat of massive corruption and communist in the jungle gaining more support from the exiled king.
What is the first song at the beginning
Dara Chom Chan & Houy Meas - Nek Na Min Rom (Who's Not Dancing?)
