Kamnop

“A treasure is waiting for you”

long feature documentary - In Development (2027)

Kamnop is an exhilarating and transformative road trip, where a mother and daughter travel from Colorado to Cambodia in search of a long-lost treasure, buried during the first days of the Khmer Rouge genocide. This is a women’s quest for healing and justice, where East meets West, dreams become reality, and rationality blends with spirituality, weaving together fantasy, memory, sorrow, and joy.

In this intimate and magical adventure, what begins as a treasure hunt will transform soon into an intergenerational quest, where mother and daughter not only search for hidden jewels but also for a deeper understanding of each other and their country and family’s past.
