Ruom Hangout at Angkor Photo Festival

I had the opportunity to speak about my on-going project on Cambodian brides trafficked to China to a very engaged group of audience during Ruom Hangout, an afternoon event at Angkor Photo Festival in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Although the project is mainly shot in China, I have always felt the importance to bring this work to Cambodia to raise awareness of and to prevent bride trafficking.
