Through panoramic views of villages, waterways, and lush jungle, The Long Road to Education presents a story of the Cambodian people’s journey from a dark past to today. For a significant part of the twentieth century, Cambodia was ravaged by war, genocide, and extreme deprivation. Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge regime all but wiped out many of the country’s institutions. Education suffered and the effects of this period can still be seen today. The school system has rebounded, but the struggle has not been easy, nor is it complete. The Long Road to Education carries the viewer above Cambodia’s spectacularly beautiful landscape, weaving in personal stories and perspectives of local people, to paint an intimate portrait of the Cambodian people’s struggle for a better future.
