From Cambodia to Canada, CIRQUE DU CAMBODGE (2020, 86 min) follows two Cambodian teenagers on their inspiring journey to run away and join the circus. Filmed over eight years, filmmaker Joel Gershon captured the amazing talents and ongoing challenges for two Cambodian teenagers who travel from the rice fields and dusty roads of their rural village to the other side of the world to train at the prestigious National Circus School of Montreal in Canada. Their ultimate dream is to perform with the prestigious Cirque du Soleil, whose headquarters is located across the street from the school. Will they make it to the big time? You’ll have to see the film to find out!
