“At first they don’t believe” tells the stories of two women who survived the violence of the 1970s Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, Sieng Chantei and Leay Kimchhean. How have these women tried to confront their past traumas? What has the country done to help? How have they tried to make sense of their treatment by a paranoid regime that abused thousands of people like the two we meet in the film? And what does the younger generation make of their story? Building on the work of Changing the Story in Cambodia, a four year research project, and learning from, and with, the innovative work of Cambodian civil society organisations, the film illustrates the importance of young people learning about and acknowledging the stories of survivors.

At First They Don't Believe

"Birth of a Union" chronicles the historic effort to organize low wage workers in North Carolina, where it is illegal for any State agency to agree to a Union contract. Despite being full time employees of the State of North Carolina, wages of many workers have been so low that they have qualified for Federal food stamps. Helping to give leadership to these workers we follow a dynamic African-American union organizer working through one of the most progressive unions in the country.
