Through the eyes, words and songs of its popular music stars of the 50s, 60s and 70s, DON’T THINK I’VE FORGOTTEN: CAMBODIA’S LOST ROCK AND ROLL examines and unravels Cambodia’s tragic past. Combining interviews with surviving musicians and never-before-seen archival material and rare songs, the film tracks the winding course of Cambodian music as it morphs into a unique style of rock and roll. A vibrant musical culture that was nearly lost forever under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime is revived and celebrated.
“...we know from the start that the American bombs and the Communist killing fields are just over the horizon. But the filmmakers’ deft interweaving of old videos with recent interviews casts an unusual spell, inducing a poignant kind of magical thinking.” —A.O. Scott, The New York Times
