    This documentary is telling the story of Cambodians living with the dead.
    After the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, Phnom Penh has undergone rapid development with the emergence of skyscrapers and construction. However, these high-end buildings are predominantly designed for wealthy Cambodians and foreigners, leaving the lower-middle class and below to reside in flats, rented houses, slums, or even cemeteries. Despite feeling scared, some residents have no other option but to stay.
    This episode has been filmed in April 2018.

    "But I need to live with it because I don't have enough money. This is what I can afford." Truer words have never been spoken. This is how a lot of people all over the world feel.

    Very informative video. It’s sad to know that the Cambodian government is allowing foreign investors to buy in their country when their own people are starving, living under poverty and homeless, that’s not ok! I think Vietnamese government doesn’t allow foreigners to buy land or property in their country. Those people living in the cemetery is sad to see. In Vietnam, they bury their loved ones in their backyards or around their homes, but it’s their loved ones & their land. It’s not the same as living in a cemetery and trying to make it home. I haven’t been to Cambodia yet, on my bucket list. I don’t like to see all the high rises! It’s not them, it’s the West and China’s infrastructure and influence! I do hope they live better lives and the government helps their own people! Bless them 🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🙏🙏

      Because Phnom Penh want "fast and fresh money" from outside (mostly from China). In another YT channel, you can watch how China dominating Cambodian economy with resort and gambling house.

      Also we all know that China has the most money in real estate . Of course they would dominate. Unlike foreigner most Cambodian invest on villa house or borey rather than condos also there are many Japan and Korea development here it’s just less than China

    That must be an old Chinese and/or Vietnamese cemetery due to the individual mausoleum-like graves. Cambodians typically cremate their dead. Their ashes are then deposited in a stupa at a temple.

    The government needs to put their people first, not Chinese money/debt traps. But to be able to build up, they NEED to accept the foreign money which comes with strings attached. Very tough situation.

    Most things said in this video about Cambodia are correct besides salary, salary income is wrong, and the average salary in Cambodia right now in 2024 is around $250-$350 monthly. 2009 average income was nowhere near $457 said in this video. 2017 income was definitely nowhere near $1376. If you're able to get $400-$500 monthly right now in Cambodia you're lucky. 2024 the most paid provinces is Khampong Soam right now which is mainly business run by Chinese casino and othere, average salary income there is around $350-$400
