Περιγραφή: In Adeena Mey's essay, "Not Silencing: Im Heung-soon’s Cambodia," the author delves into the complexities of cultural, historical, and political dynamics intertwined in Im Heung-soon’s documentary "Factory Complex" (2014–15).

He contends that Im's documentary offers a nuanced portrayal of labour struggles without resorting to messianic narratives or oversimplified empowerment tropes. By weaving together insights from film theory, ...
