Community memory and documentary work

A 2013 Documentation Center of Cambodia report describes Katie Combs working on a short film as part of the Stockton Cambodian Oral History Project. The report says participants discussed family histories during the Khmer Rouge period and the continuation of music, song and other art forms, with footage of Stockton's Cambodian New Year celebration. Documentation Center of Cambodia, 2013 quarterly report, p. 36

The report documents a request for historical footage and a planned local screening. It does not identify the film's title or establish that a complete film or interview collection is currently available online. Research-assistance entry, p. 36
