Description:

Join us for a public screening and talkback for Golden Voice, a short documentary about trans survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. The film follows Noy Sitha, a a transgender man, as he returns to the village where he not only survived the 1975 – 1979 genocide, but also unexpectedly discovered queer community. Shifting between the past, present, and future, Golden Voice meditates on how pain and love linger through the years, and how the wisdom of queer elders might provide hope and healing for generations to come. We are joined by the film’s director, Mars Verrone, and producer, Tabitha Payne, whose academic fieldwork was the springboard for the film’s production.

This film screening is hosted by Professor Cindy Nguyen as part of the Global History of Libraries: Colonial Pasts, Decolonial Futures course in the UCLA Department for Information Studies.

Space is limited to the first 30 registrants.
