Our news these days is full of wars in which genocide is being inflicted with inhuman savagery on innocent people. With each new headline the name of the previous atrocity fades into the shadows and its victims are forgotten in favor of the new ones. But every horror must be remembered and taught to following generations so that each country's people remain aware and don't let the evil ever happen again. Remember to Remember is set in Cambodia and is the fictionalized true story of Chanbopha, a courageous child who, despite her youth, survives the death march from Phnom Penh and through the Khmer Rouge killing fields. Using her own ingenuity she finds food for her family in the working prison farm in which many starve and few emerge whole. Through all the ugliness, Chanbopha sees glimpses of beauty, and this allows nothing to deter her from fighting for her dream of taking her mother and siblings to a life of freedom.
