Paper Cannot Wrap Up Embers

Le papier ne peut pas envelopper la braise

Also known as To harti den borei na tylixei ta karvouna, Nie da sie zawinac zaru w papier, ក្រដាសមិនអាចខ្ចប់ភ្លើង

During the last half-century, Cambodia has witnessed genocide, decades of war and the collapse of social order. Now, documentary filmmaker Rithy Panh looks at an irreparable tragedy that is less visible, yet no less pervasive: the spiritual death that results when young women are forced into prostitution. Angry and impassioned, PAPER CANNOT WRAP UP EMBERS presents the searing stories of poor Asian women whose lives were violated and their destinies destroyed when their bodies were turned into items of sexual commerce.
