Research paper thumbnail of Mass murder, mental misery and movies: How film productions can help Cambodians deal with their traumatic past

As a result, many Cambodians are traumatized. However, mental healthcare in Cambodia is extremely limited. Inversely proportional to this has been the development of the media in Cambodia over the past three decades, with the result that Cambodia is now a media-rich society. This makes it relevant to find out how media, and more specifically film productions, might be able to help Cambodians deal with trauma. This study is based on an analysis of six interviews and six film productions. The selection of films was based on the interviews, as the respondents talked about specific films and ways in which these can help them deal with their traumatic past. The findings of this study suggest that there are at least eighteen ways in which film can help Cambodians deal with traumatic experiences.

For instance, there are many red flags with hammers and sickles on Lao Buddhist pagodas. Also the national emblem of Laos offers a fascinating example of what looks like a symbiosis between Buddhism and socialism. This combination seems paradoxical, because Marx criticised religion. But perhaps Lao communism is different from Marx’s original ideas. Or is it possible that Buddhism and Marxism are not so antagonistic after all? This paper looks into the question as to how Laos can be a Buddhist and a communist country at the same time.
