Bangkok Post


Following the success of the Bangkok premiere of Who Killed Chea Vichea? before over a hundred viewers at the FCCT, the Bangkok Post has this excellent article and interview with director Bradley Cox.
...Who Killed Chea Vichea?, which captures the story as it unfolds, recently screened at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand. Director Bradley Cox, who had interviewed Chea Vichea about his labour union activism, was on the scene moments after the murder, and followed the subsequent trial and conducted his own investigation. Jim Pollard, FCCT board member, called it one of the best documentaries ever made on Cambodia.
