Dogora: Open Your Eyes
Filmmaker Patrice Leconte takes us on a musical journey through Cambodia. Set to a beautiful score by Etienne Perruchon, there is no dialogue or storyline, just mesmerizing images of everyday people living their everyday Cambodian life. In a similar vein to Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka this documentary opens a street level, non-judgmental eye on a rich and diverse culture.
