Camerado

I got an email from Randolfe Wicker about Camerado.   Randolfe notes in his email: "He has produced some great documentaries here in the USA, one of which was called "Bookwars", which was about marginal folks who used to survive by selling used books on the streets of Manhattan. One of his current projects is focused on the Cambodian Circus which was nearly wiped out under the Khmer Rouge."

According to the web site, Camerado is now based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to focus on new areas of TV and film production. Current programming output will include adventure, ethnographic, and social issue documentaries which explore topics unique to Cambodia and the region.

You can view a short advocacy documentary about land grabbing in Ratanakiri province, Cambodia, produced on location under unique and challenging conditions in Ten Commune (indigenous Jarai Village) by Camerado.  He also is blogging his experience while in Cambodia.
