Satook | Official Trailer

Description

“Satook,” directed by praCh Ly, examines the transformation of religious traditions in Cambodian American communities through the ruptures of war and immigration. The film centers on four intimate conversations with survivors and the diaspora of the Khmer Rouge genocide, who share their personal experiences and memories of their parents, and reflect on their communities and journeys of belief. The film also examines the contemporary meanings of ancient sacred sites in Cambodia and considers more broadly the diversity and complexities of religion in four different locations in the United States. Satook will be featured as part of the new exhibition "Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia’s Sacred Mountain" from April 30–September 18, 2022.  https://asia.si.edu/exhibition/revealing-krishna-journey-to-the-sacred-mountain A special thanks to the individuals interviewed in Satook: Sam Chhon, Bonieta Lach, Mea Lath, Pon “Carvi” Ly, and Loung Ung. "Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia’s Sacred Mountain" is part of The Arts of Devotion, a five-year initiative dedicated to furthering civic discourse and the understanding of religion made possible by the Lilly Endowment Inc.
