GKIDS has released a poster, trailer and images for director Denis Do’s latest film Funan, an animated movie set in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime and based upon the personal experiences of Do’s family. Check them out here…
Cambodia, April 1975. Chou is a young woman whose everyday world is suddenly upended by the arrival of the Khmer Rouge regime. During the chaos of the forced exile from their home, Chou and her husband are separated from their 4-year-old son, who has been sent to an unknown location. As she navigates her new reality, working in the fields day and night under the careful watch of soldiers, and surviving the small indignities and harrowing realities of the increasingly grim work camps, Chou remains steadfast in her determination to reunite her family – even if it means risking everything.
Funan will be released in New York on June 7th and Los Angeles on June 14th.
