* The Cham People and the Khmer Rouge empowers young Cambodian Muslims to produce films about the recent history of their ethnic group, which are to be screened and discussed in respective communities. The Muslim Chams numbered at least 250,000 in 1975. With their distinct language and culture, large villages, and independent national organizational networks, the Chams could have threatened the atomized, closely supervised society that the Pol Pot leadership planned to create. This might have been one reason why the Cham were specifically targeted by the Khmer Rouge. The project has received funding from the Swiss Embassy in Bangkok and the German Heinrich-Boell-Foundation.
