These documentary films are the work of trainees who studied documentary filmmaking at the Bophana Center under the project ‘Training Tomorrow’s Film Directors and Promoting Exchange and Archival Development through Cambodia’s Filmmaking’ in 2024, implemented by the Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center and supported by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.

Centered on hardship and perseverance, all these films highlight individuals confronting difficult realities such as poverty, displacement, and physical limitation. Despite these challenges, the films reveal strength, determination, and the will to continue. It offers a powerful reflection on human resilience in the face of adversity.
