GHOST MOUNTAIN
Film Screening with Director Q&A

RSVP

Ghost Mountain chronicles the journey of Bunseng Taing, the director’s father, a Cambodian refugee who reached Connecticut in 1980 after surviving both the Killing Fields and a previously undocumented horror. Among the 45,000 refugees who sought safety in Thailand, he was forced back over the Cambodian border into an area heavily infested with landmines.

The film earned third place in audience ratings at its premiere at the Sedona Film Festival and received the Best Documentary award at the HAAPI Film Festival. It has since been showcased at various film festivals across the country and featured on CSPAN and NPR CT. Currently, Ghost Mountain is being piloted for high school curriculum in Connecticut.
