Cup of Culture
Daze of Justice
MCC Theater
Daze of Justice is the intimate story of trailblazing Cambodian-American women who break decades of silence, abandoning the security of their American homes on a journey back into Cambodia's killing fields. Only this time not as victims but as witnesses determined to resurrect the memory of their loved ones before the UN Special Tribunal prosecuting the Khmer Rouge. Daze of Justice takes us beyond the Killing Fields. The women find the courage to remember their past and not only generate a vocabulary for reclaiming the past, but pave a path that extends the promise of redemption to future generations. 1 h 9 min.
