A story of survival

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: India International Centre in collaboration with Cambodian Living Arts is organising the screening of "The Flute Player'', a 60-minute film directed by Jocelyn Glatzer, at the IIC Auditorium here on Monday. Emmy award nominated PBS special documentary is about the life and work of Arn Chorn-Pond, survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide, who is now working to heal his wounded culture through renewal of the arts.

If the Khmer Rouge had not taken over Cambodia in 1975, Arn Chorn-Pond would have carried on his family's legacy and become an opera star. Instead, at the age of nine Arn Chorn-Pond was thrust into the darkness of Cambodia's Killing Fields where for four long years he struggled to stay alive amidst torture.
