WKCV wins best in category at Phila festival

We're happy to announce that after three nearly full screenings at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival this past weekend, Who Killed Chea Vichea? won BEST FILM - POLITICAL.


At the awards ceremony Sunday night, festival director Ben Barnett summed up the awards committee's reaction: "It blew us away!"

Thanks to everyone who came to our screenings and participated in our Q&A sessions afterwards, and thanks also to Ben and the PIFF staff and volunteers for organizing an excellent festival!
