Event Details
Through the eyes, words, and songs of its popular music stars of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, ‘Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock & Roll’ examines and unravels Cambodia’s tragic past, culminating in the genocidal Khmer Rouge’s dismantling of the society and murder of two million of its citizens.
Combining interviews of the surviving Cambodian musicians themselves with never-before-seen archival material and rare songs, this documentary tracks the twists and turns of Cambodian music as it morphs into rock and roll, blossoms, and is nearly destroyed along with the rest of the country.
John Pirozzi’s DON’T THINK THAT I’VE FORGOTTEN (2016, 105 min) is not just for the musically obsessed, it’s a poignant and an important reminder that art matters, especially when one is facing the abyss.
