Tomorrow night the evictions are stopping…
Wishfull thinking yes…
Metahouse will host a STOP EVICTIONS night on March 10th. Films to be screened include Channel 4’s ‘Cambodia is Selling the Killing Fields’ and ‘A Country for Sale’ by Nana Yuriko (2009, 60 mins).
I will contribute a slideshow (hopefully x sound) which is just a sample of evictions I have witnessed over the last 10 years…
You can see all my eviction stories at length and BIG size on my new website.
A book dummy about Cambodian evictions in .pdf format can be downloaded here (still waiting for a publisher by the way).
Here is a picture which will not feature in the slideshow:
CAMBODIA. Kandal Steung (Kandal). 4/04/2010: Police arresting farmers from four adjacent villages in Kandal Steung, Prek Sleng district, blocking road to Takeo, protesting the loss of their land, allegedly sold by their Commune Chief.
