Chea Vichea funeral march
WHO KILLED CHEA VICHEA? is a highly charged murder mystery, a political thriller, and a documentary like no other.

In 2004, Cambodian union president Chea Vichea was assassinated in broad daylight at a newsstand in Phnom Penh. As international pressure mounted, two men were swiftly arrested and convicted of the crime, each sentenced to twenty years in prison. Filmmaker Bradley Cox’s five-year investigation reveals an elaborate cover-up that reaches the highest levels of Cambodia's government.

Winner of a 2011 Peabody Award among many other honors and banned by the Cambodian government, WHO KILLED CHEA VICHEA? uncovers the face of dictatorship behind the mask of democracy.

Filmed in Cambodia from 2003 to 2009, with additional filming in Belgium, France, Finland, Netherlands, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Festival release in 2010, US television release in May 2011. Total running time 56 minutes.

A co-production of Loud Mouth Films and the Independent Television Service (ITVS), with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

Distributed by Journeyman Pictures; available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Vimeo and YouTube.
