Abstract

This issue of AEMS News and Reviews covers three documentary films on the interactions of art, politics, history and people's daily lives in Turkey, Cambodia, and Philippines. The Play documents how women living in a village in southern Turkey express themselves through creating and staging their own theatrical play. In this play, the women enact their own life stories, giving voice to how individual experiences influenced their daily lives, families, and communities. Don't Think I've Forgotten explores the history, politics and the contemporary traces of how Cambodian musicians incorporated Western rock and roll music styles with Cambodian traditional music during 1960s and 70s, a period after Cambodia gained independence from French colonial rule in 1953. Jeepney visualizes the richly diverse cultural heritage of the Philippines through its boldly decorated and ultimately iconic mass transport vehicle. As always, we extend thanks to the scholars who review the documentaries and provide invaluable suggestions on the pedagogical use of the documentaries. The next issue of AEMS News and Reviews will feature three documentaries on gender issues and social change in China and Japan. We appreciate your continued interest in News and Reviews, and we welcome your suggestions and feedback.
