The Cambodian Space Project - Not Easy Rock’n’Roll

In 2009 a wandering Australian musician, Julien Poulson walks into a Phnom Penh karaoke bar. At the microphone is Srey Thy, a poor village girl whose lifelong dream is to become a professional singer. Nothing could have prepared them for what happens next. Their meeting leads to a passionate romance and the formation of an intriguing rock ’n’ roll band ‘The Cambodian Space Project’ soon wowing audiences across the world. Using wonderfully inventive graphics and a rare cinematic archive from the personal films of Cambodia’s King Sihanouk this is an intimate story of struggling performers and cross-cultural challenges, from the ancient Khmer Kingdom of Angkor, to the streets of Brixton and all the way to the Motown Studios of Detroit.
