Youk
Chhang, the CPP, strikes again! This time in successfully striking out
Mu Sochua from the final version of the film Don't Think I've Forgotten screened last night at
Chaktomuk Theatre.
At this screening (pictured) at my apartment almost one year ago in Feb. 2013, John Pirozzi mentioned how Youk demanded that Mu Sochua's interview be taken out; John (and we all agreed then) stood his ground and said her comment was relevant and offered a perspective not yet articulated.
I cannot adequately express how disappointing I am, especially having been a strong supporter of this film from the very beginning since 2004, when I assisted with setting up with many interviews, translation, e.g. Prince Sirirath Panara's interview took place at my then apartment on the riverfront, and since in providing feedback and comments to the several versions I've seen over the years.
Throughout the 8-9 years I've known this film in production and of the many versions I've seen, it also struck me raw the strong emphasis in the final version screened last night of the contested January 7 as the day of liberation.
As always is the case in Cambodia, when beauty (as this film was) is captured by the CPP, it's politically bastardized.

Chhang Yuok is a brother of Chhang Song who is hunger for rank and kneeling at the foot of CCP as Phay Siphan. Chhang Yuok was unemployed in Dallas, Tx and his wife a pure yuon living in Dallas, Tx. This is a true color of him, CCP 's dog.
ReplyDeleteYea, it is true.

ReplyDeletei know of Youk Chhange from the refugee camps. He loves being in the spotlight, as far as I know of him. I was little, yet I knew of him. That's how much he loves attention. He could cut and pushed people out so that he could get the attention. He left the Phillippines on the same flight. We don't think much of him.
ReplyDeleteChhang, Yuok lived in Dallas during the 80's and early 90's where he never had a real job. What in the first comment are true.
DeleteDoes Mr. Youk Chhang work at DCAM in Cambodia?
ReplyDeleteWe did not know that Chhang Yuok is a brother of Chhang Song. Is this the Chhang Song who lives in Long Beach? Now, that explains every thing (about both if these individuals!) It runs in the family.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he is in Long Beach, Ca. He is getting too oldand ill to serve CPP that looks down on him really bad because he was a republican during Lon Nol time.
