DoMin Do is the story of a small powerless party in Cambodia that decided to oppose to one of the longest and most authoritarian democratic government in the history of democracies.
The project includes a short 20' film as well as a interactive photo documentary originally published at domindo.asia.
Despite the limited access to the National Media, juridical harassments and violent repressions, in less then one year the Cambodian National Rescue Partyhas built one of the greatest and most powerful revolution in South East Asia counting only on its own forces and on the power of the people that day by day start to take a role to improve the future of their country. During the gatherings and forums organized by the CNRP in all the regions of the country, a party representative was always asking “To Change or not to Change?”, from the Khmer “Do rry min do?” and the assembly was always replying in choir “Do! Change!”.
Over the last years very few stories have been able to talk about Cambodia without recalling the darkness of the Khmer Rouge regime, the civil war, the horror of the killing field. Those stories still affect the sensitiveness and the fears of Cambodian people, and have been used to control and repress any collective attempt of expressing and acting for social and political changes.
The project is an independent production made in collaboration with my fellow, the photographer and filmmaker Davide Grotta.
