Monks and Mothers Confront Riot Cops In Struggles Over Cambodian Development

Via Joshua Eaton: the crowdfunding campaign for this film-in-progress has ended, but there's still time to support the editing process, and the project's blog, The Cause of Progress, provides a good amount of background information on struggles with development campaigns in Cambodia that are displacing Buddhist monks and laypeople.Economic development as universally beneficial and "progressive" is one of the topics we're looking forward to discussing in The Lies That Build Empire… starting tomorrow!  Can't wait to dig in to these spiritual and political conversations.
