The World Cinema Jury Prize: Documentary was presented to A River Changes Course (from Cambodia), directed by Kalyanee Mam — Three young Cambodians struggle to overcome the crushing effects of deforestation, overfishing, and overwhelming debt in
this devastatingly beautiful story of a country reeling from the tragedies of war and rushing to keep pace with a rapidly expanding world.
Now in the same
devastatingly beautiful language that has won her critical and popular acclaim, Melinda Haynes returns to the country she knows so well — the backwoods South of the 1960s — to tell the
story of a mysterious town and its inhabitants, each with their own afflictions and joys, each with their own secrets.
