Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary at Sundance, A River Changes Course tells the story of three families living in contemporary Cambodia as they face hard choices forced by rapid development and struggle to maintain their traditional ways of life as the modern world closes in around them. The film addresses the "long-view" of a country recovering from genocide and the after-effects of war, revealing the particular challenges of incorporation into the global economic system.

This film is co-sponsored by the Human Rights Institute, HRI's Research Program on Humanitarianism and the Asian American Studies Institute. It is being screened as part of the HRI film series Aftermath: Human Rights and the Consequences of War.
