John Pirozzi | 2014 | United States, Cambodia | 106 min | English, Khmer and French with English Subtitles

Through the eyes, words and songs of its popular music stars of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, 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.
