Filmed over a five year period in both Thailand and Cambodia, David Feingold’s LIFE AND DEATH AT PREAH VIHEAR (2014, 55 min) uses the conflict over the ancient temple to illuminate current political and cultural tensions between Cambodia and Thailand. In addition, it shows the ways in which the colonial encounter with the West impacted the concept of borders and boundaries of the Southeast Asian state. Finally, it shows the stark political divisions that have split Thailand into "Red Shirts" and "Yellow Shirts", and exposes how the dispute has influenced - and been influenced by - Thai internal politics.
