The Wire

In January 2014, at the United Nations in Geneva, Australia called out Cambodia’s human rights abuses, ”particularly the disproportionate violence against protesters, including detention without trial”. One month later, a deal was put in place to re-settle refugees from offshore processing centers to Cambodia, in exchange for $40 million in aid from Australia. Fast forward one year, and not a single refugee has chosen to go to Cambodia. A documentary made by a Phnom Penh native might just provide insight as to why.
