Dengue Fever: Sleepwalking Through the Mekong

"Sleepwalking Through the Mekong" follows Los Angeles based Dengue Fever on their recent journey to Cambodia to perform 60's and 70's Cambodian rock and roll in a country where it was created and nearly destroyed. The odyssey is a homecoming for singer Chhom Nimol and a transformation for the rest of the band as they perform with master musicians and new songs along the way. More than a documentary, the film serves up a portrait of modern Cambodia as the band tours through Phnom Penh and beyond, crossing a great cultural chasm with the same spirit of Cambodia's original rock pioneers.
