John Pirozzi’s “Sleepwalking Through The Mekong”(2007, 68 min) follows Los Angeles-based band Dengue Fever on their journey to the country that inspired their love for ’60s and 70’s Cambodian rock.

This odyssey is a homecoming for singer Chhom Nimol and a transformation for the rest of the band as they perform with master musicians and record new songs along the way. More than a rockumentary, the film serves up a portrait of modern Cambodia as the band tours through Phnom Penh and beyond, crossing a great cultural chasm with the same spirit of Cambodia’s original rock pioneers.
