In March 2006, the Foundation sponsored the filming
of the documentary The Crimson Curtain, which highlighted
the challenges of feeding, housing and educating over
120 needy children in one of the poorest areas of downtown
Phnom Penh.
Three independent filmmakers of Wide-Eyed-Documentaries
completed The Crimson Curtain at a cost of $16,000.
In October 2006, the documentary was
premiered for a London audience. Future screenings in
upcoming months will include dates in Toronto.
After the filming of The Crimson Curtain
was completed in March 2006, the Aziza Foundation learned
that the Tonle Bassac slum area, where the film was
shot, was to be cleared for redevelopment with all residents
to be relocated outside the city limits.
Spurred by the desire to establish
a more permanent presence in Cambodia, the Foundation
launched Aziza’s Place, a home and learning center
for disadvantaged children in January 2007. |
