Event Details
Cambodia is home to about 700,000 Cham Muslims, about 5% of the country’s population. This minority is composed of three major groups: Chams (the descendants of Champa, conquered and integrated into southern Vietnam centuries ago), Malays (Chvea), and Cham Jahed (those who belong to the Imam San community, which is well-known for preserving Cham customs and traditions).
Meta House invites you for a documentary film night investigating Muslim culture in Cambodia and how the Khmer Rouge genocide affected this minority.
