DOCUMENTARY & TALK - Father François Ponchaud, a member of the Foreign Missions of Paris, has worked in Cambodia – with the Christian minority, with Buddhist monks, with the poor and with refugees – since 1965. He has translated the Bible into the Khmer language and written the definitive history of the Catholic church in Cambodia. In 1977, Ponchaud wrote “Cambodia Year Zero” – the book that alerted the world to the terrible nature of the Pol Pot regime. THE CROSS AND THE BODDHI TREE (2001, 46 min) portrays his extraordinary spiritual journey. Father Ponchaud will hold a Q&A after screening.
