Angkor Wat Film Festival: Years of Darkness

The mission of the ANGKOR WAT INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (AWIFF) is to showcase and celebrate films whose subjects and themes deal with the preservation of culture and environment. These are the best of the festival and proceeds will help fund the 2nd annual AWIFF in Cambodia. Years of Darkness documents Sam Khong’s reunification with his family and his spiritual recovery. He grew up in Cambodia and joined its Navy at age 14 to fight the Vietcong. In 1974, he came to the U.S. for additional military training. But in 1975 he was stranded here when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia and began its regime of death. Later, while living in the U.S., Khong suffered a head injury that led to the start of his battle with depression. Directed by Tom Vendetti. Short film: Born Sweet
