POSTPONED BY THE PANDEMIC, THE JUNGLE IS EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH THEATER MU TO LIFT UP THIS INCREDIBLE STORY ABOUT FAMILIAL BONDS AND A DARK CHAPTER OF CAMBODIAN HISTORY.
A Khmer Rouge survivor returns to Cambodia for the first time in 30 years as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of the country’s most infamous war criminals. Backed by a live band of actor-musicians playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time as father and daughter face the music of the past.
