The man between beauty & war, Interview David A. Feingold

He became a famous anthropologist and award-winning film director. He filmed both lives during the glorious era of Sangkum Reastr Niyum (1955-1970) and the struggle of Cambodian people in Khmer Rouge and post-Khmer Rouge communist era. While preparing for his photo exhibition and film screening in Cambodia's Meta House, Feingold is talking to Taing Rinith about the epic life journey so far.
