Plot Summary
"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.
Customer Reviews
It’s about what music means to all of us.
I’ve always rather liked them as a band, but this documentary makes me love them so much more. It’s a film about the cultural memory of music, the mashups of culture, and what can be brought back. And yeah, I want to go to Cambodia now.
