Podcasts about Loung Ung

This episode looks at two films about the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s: First They Killed My Father (dir. Angelina Jolie), and The Gate (or Les Temps des Aveux) (dir. Régis Wargnier). First They Killed My Father is based on the memoir of Loung Ung, who was a five-year-old girl when the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia in 1975. Loung Ung was forced to flee Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, with her family. Loung Ung's parents were killed, and Loung Ung was separated from her siblings; after surviving in a forced labor camp, Loung Ung was forced to become a child soldier. The Gate tells the story of acclaimed French anthropologist, Francois Bizot, who was imprisoned and tortured by the Khmer Rouge for three months in 1971 on suspicion of being a CIA spy, and who later became the French embassy's translator and intermediary with the Khmer Rouge until he was forced to flee the country. The films, which are both based on personal memoirs, provide a harrowing account of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. I'm joined by Dr. Melanie O'Brien, Associate Professor of International Law at the University of Western Australia (UWA) Law School and President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Dr. O'Brien is a leading expert on genocide and international law, and is the author of acclaimed scholarly books and articles on the subject. Timestamps:0:00      Introduction3:42       Background on the Khmer Rouge7:42        Khmer Rouge philosophy and tactics11:50      Forced marriage15:37      The role of propaganda 24:58     The use of child soldiers27:48     Life after genocide31:42      First They Killed My Father and the Cambodian genocide38:08     Francois Bizot and Comrade Duch 40:10     The French embassy in Phnom Penh43:52     The portrayal of Comrade Duch 46:06     The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) 55:06      Why Cambodia was a genocide 1:00:16    The Khmer Rouge's destruction of culture1:07:21     Transitional justice in Cambodia1:10:33    The role of memoirs after genocideFurther reading:Becker, Elizabeth, When the War Was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution (1988)Bizot, Francois, The Gate: A Memoir (2004)Killean, Rachel & Moffett, Luke, “What's in a Name? ‘Reparations' at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia,” 21(1) Melbourne J.

In a special episode recorded before a live audience at the Inkubator writing conference, Laura interviews Loung Ung, whose bestselling memoirs detailing her experiences under the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia have moved readers worldwide. Ung discussed the genesis of her writing life, writing in a child's voice for an adult audience, writing and publishing in English as a nonnative English speaker, overcoming anxiety about sharing her family's story, how she met Angelia Jolie and came to co-write the screenplay adaptation of First They Killed My Father, her experiences with the filming process in Cambodia, how others can start on the activist's path, what it means to write toward peace, and more.     This conversation was recorded on September 20, 2024 at Cleveland Public Library as part of Literary Cleveland's free Inkubator writing conference. Loung Ung is an author, lecturer, and activist who has devoted her life to advancing human rights and equality in Cambodia and around the world. She is the author of the memoir First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (HarperCollins 2000), which tells the story of her survival under the Khmer Rouge regime, as well as Lucky Child and Lulu in the Sky, additional memoirs published by HarperCollins. She is currently working on a novel. In 2013, Ung expanded her activism as a writer for Girl Rising, a documentary film about girls' education around the world. First They Killed My Father was adapted into a Netflix movie in 2017 by director by Angelina Jolie from a screenplay co-written by Jolie and Ung.   Page Count is produced by Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library.

In today's episode, we delve into the harrowing story of survival during the 1970s Cambodian Genocide, focusing on Loung Ung's remarkable journey. Imagine your world being torn apart as a child, witnessing the Khmer Rouge's invasion of Phnom Penh in April 1975, forcing two million people to flee, with death awaiting those who resisted. Loung's life took a tragic turn when her father was taken by soldiers. Following his capture, her mother made a heart-wrenching decision, sending Loung and her siblings in different directions, urging them to pass as orphans. From that moment, Loung never saw her family again. By the age of seven, she found herself recruited as a child soldier, a testament to the unimaginable challenges she faced. What makes this story even more extraordinary is the connection it shares with Hollywood. Collaborating with Loung, Angelina Jolie co-wrote and produced the Netflix film 'First They Killed My Father.' Their friendship blossomed when Jolie first read Loung's memoir and reached out to her. Loung's resilience serves as a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome the harshest circumstances with strength and courage, all while maintaining gratitude and kindness. Join me as we explore this incredible story and get to know Loung Ung on a deeper level.   SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: testartfamilylawyers.com.au LISA COX Website: loungung.com TIFFANEE COOK Linktree: linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches Website: rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook: facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram: instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: instagram.com/tiffaneeandcoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does this 2017 film, set during the 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge reign of terror in Cambodia tell us about the radical nature of the communist project of restructuring human society and psychology? Why did the Khmer Rouge resort to using children as soldiers and cadre? How did Pol Pot differ from Stalin, Mao and Ho Chi Minh in his relative anonymity and refusal to create a personality cult around himself? How does the story of the young girl, Loung Ung, and her family illustrate the courage and compassion of that family unit? How do the actions of the mother and father ensure the survival of their children? What lessons should America and her allies draw from U.S. withdrawals from Cambodia, South Vietnam and Afghanistan?

Internationally renowned author and human rights activist Loung Ung started writing as a side gig. Her story is full of passion and purpose and literally turning surviving into thriving. Enjoy the conversation with this very special guest.

This year, the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage celebrates the finalists of our 14th annual Stop the Hate contest, and The City Club of Cleveland is celebrating the winners of The Hope and Stanley Adelstein Free Speech Essay Contest.rnrnThe Stop the Hate contest, which annually awards $100,000 to 6th - 12th grade students and schools in Northeast Ohio, has expanded to include free online museum tours and classroom workshops. As of 2022, the total amount of scholarships, prizes, and anti-bias education grants awarded through the contest to Northeast Ohio students and schools will be $1.4 million. An estimated 45,000+ students have participated across twelve counties.rnrnThis year, using object-based learning, students learn what it means to be a bystander, upstander, or perpetrator in global events like the Holocaust and national events like the Civil Rights Movement. Reflecting on this history, they are asked to reflect on discrimination they experience or witness today. Students respond to the question of what role they play in changing in their community. The theme for this year is courage, inspired by Cambodian-born American human-rights activist, author, and Cleveland resident, Loung Ung who famously said, "Courage is when you dare to be yourself, in whatever ways you want to be - to not be afraid, to just do it."rnrnFor The Hope and Stanley Adelstein Free Speech Essay Contest. Every year since 2013, The Hope and Stanley Adelstein Free Speech Essay Contest challenges high school students to examine the role of free speech in the 21st century. The essay contest was established by Hope and Stanley as part of the City Club's Centennial celebration. The Adelsteins were longtime City Club members, philanthropists, and environmental activists. Stanley joined the City Club in 1941 and remained an active member until his death in 2014. Hope's hallmark was civic involvement, and she was active in the Cleveland community until her death in 2016.rnrnFor the 2022 contest, students have been asked to respond to this prompt:rnrnIn recent months there has been a lot of debate about Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in classrooms across America. The anti-CRT movement has inspired parents to voice concerns at school board meetings and state legislators to ban the use and teaching of CRT in K-12 classrooms. The legislation proposed in Ohio doesn't name CRT directly, but it prohibits a set of concepts from being taught or used as content in professional development. A very similar law in Texas specifically prohibits the use of the New York Times's 1619 Project in public school classrooms.rnrnWhat is at risk if this kind of legislation passes? Reflect on the important lessons you've learned at school about our national history. Are there specific aspects of our history that deserve more attention or something you think should not be taught at school? America prides itself on being a champion of free speech and a beacon of democracy. How would limiting what teachers can teach complicate our idea of freedom of expression? How would you recommend your state government address the ongoing debate over CRT and systemic racism?

Children often get overlooked in the study of history. But their stories can be useful tools to study the past as well as fascinating examples of human endurance in their own right. Compiled by Dith Pran, "Children of Cambodia's Killing Fields" is a series of first hand accounts from survivors of the Cambodian Genocide. These survivors were kids during the dark times of the Khmer Rouge, and now they tell their stories.  This is the final part in a series on the Cambodian Genocide.

Loung Ung's incredible memoir "First They Killed My Father" is a tragic reminder of the realities of the Killing Fields in Cambodia, but also a lesson in the importance of historical empathy.

What was life like under the Khmer Rouge? Ordinary life for millions of Cambodians was filled with fear, torment, and despair. Yet the people of Cambodia also demonstrated resilience, resistance, and an enduring human spirit to protect their families and those they cared about.  This is Part II in a series on the Cambodian Genocide.

Cet épisode sera consacré au film D'abord, ils ont tué mon père, réalisé par Angelina Jolie en 2017 qui revient sur l'histoire de l'activiste cambodgienne Loung Ung ayant survécu aux atrocités du régime des Khmers rouges. "De 1975 à 1979, par l'exécution, la famine, la maladie et le travail forcé, les Khmers rouges ont tué environ deux millions de Cambodgiens, soit près du quart de la population du pays. Bien que ces événements constituent ma propre expérience, mon histoire reflète celle de millions de Cambodgiens." - Loung Ung    Si cet épisode vous a plu, n'hésitez pas à lui laisser un commentaire et une note sur Apple Podcasts,  à le partager et à venir en discuter avec moi sur mon Instagram Les Belles Fréquences.    Extraits audio disponibles dans le podcast :  - Bande annonce officielle - D'abord, ils ont tué mon père (VF)- Ciné Séries  -Une survivante des Khmers rouges se souvient de son calvaire - AFP (2014) - Archive INA - 1979 : la fin du régime des Khmers rouges  - Cambodge : le génocide khmer rouge reconnu pour la première fois par le tribunal international - France 24    Ecrit, réalisé, monté et mixé par moi même, Alice KRIEF, ingénieur du son, Les Belles Fréquences 

A potent mix of communism, nationalism, racialism, imperialism, and violence resulted in the Khmer Rouge coming to power in Cambodia in 1975. Led by a man going by the name of Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge orchestrated the deaths of 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians in a genocide that has become known to history simply as the killing fields. In only four years of chaos, Pol Pot's reign of terror ranks among the most brutal regimes in all history. This is Part I in a series on the Cambodian Genocide. It goes over some background causation that led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, and their initial act of emptying out Cambodia's cities. Future episodes will discuss ordinary life in Cambodia under Pol Pot, genocide, as well as first hand accounts from Loung Ung and other children of Cambodia.   I relied heavily on Ben Kiernan's "The Pol Pot Regime," Loung Ung's "First They Killed My Father," and Dith Pran's "Children of Cambodia's Killing Fields."

(S4, EP 2). Khmer-American author Loung Ung joined me for this episode. She is best known for her international best-seller First, They Killed My Father. She recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut book which chronicled her survival as a young child during the Khmer Rouge genocide from 1975-1979. This book would later be turned into a Netflix film in 2017 that Angelina Jolie would direct. In this interview, she shared her reflections writing this book, and how this has aided in her healing from her childhood trauma from the genocide, and her relationship with Cambodia in her visits since the book. She reminisced on her time working with Angelina and her son Maddox on the film, and their friendship together.

Born in 1970 into a large, middle-class family in Phnom Penh, Loung was five years old when the Khmer Rouge took power in Cambodia. Four years later, in one of the bloodiest genocides of the 20th century, an estimated 2 million died under the regime. Among the victims were Loung's parents, two sisters, and 20 other relatives. In 1980, Loung, her older brother Meng and his wife, Eang, relocated as refugees to America. In her first memoir, the national best-seller First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, Loung tells the story of her survival in Cambodia's Killing Fields. Her second book, Lucky Child, details her life as a refugee in Vermont and her sister Chou's as a displaced person in Cambodia. In her third book, Lulu in the Sky, Loung chronicles her 1995 return to Cambodia as an activist to ban landmines, and her reunion with the family she left behind. Since then, she has made over forty trips back to Cambodia. Today, she has shared her messages of resilience, healing, civic service, activism, and leadership across the world. She has spoken at schools, universities, and organizations. Loung is a contributing writer for the groundbreaking film Girl Rising, which profiles nine girls from nine countries, including Cambodia, who are struggling against odds to achieve an education. She has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Boston Globe, among others. When not writing or traveling, Loung can be found at Market Garden Brewery, one of three microbreweries she co-owns in Ohio City, Ohio. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/banhmichronicles/support

There's one day that is remembered across Cambodia — a tragedy that continues to haunt people like Loung Ung. The genocide that began on April 17, 1975, in the city of Phnom Penh, left agonizing wounds that the promise of a new life couldn't fully heal. We follow the story of Loung Ung, a human rights activist and author of the best-selling book "First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers," which decades later was turned into a film by actor and filmmaker Angelina Jolie. In this episode, Loung recounts her harrowing escape from terror and political instability as a child soldier, and how ultimately turned her trauma into activism.

Over the last several weeks, reporters and public officials have been comparing the global outbreak of coronavirus to fighting a war. The metaphor conveys a sense of urgency and emergency and, many believe, may help mobilize a national response to the public health crisis gripping the United States. But we're not actually in a war, a reality Loung Ung knows all too well. She was five years old when communist revolutionaries known as the Khmer Rouge took control of her home country of Cambodia. Orphaned and separated from her siblings, Ung was trained as a child soldier in a work camp for orphans where she was taught to hurt and hate. Her story, captured in the memoir "First They Killed My Father" and produced for Netflix by Angelina Jolie, is an unforgettable account of a family shaken and shattered, yet miraculously sustained by courage and love in the face of unspeakable brutality. And it's especially powerful today, reminding us of the power of resilience and the human spirit to endure during the darkest times.

Omayra Sanchez Garcon was a 13 year old girl when she was killed as a result of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia. The eruption caused debris to be mixed with mudslides which overtook her village. Almost 23,000 people died in 1985 during this natural disaster. Omayra died a slow death over several days, the photo taken in her last hours went onto win awards and hopefully gain national attention to why this was able to happen in modern times. Carrie and Shannon also speak of DB Cooper's real identity, Shannon's obsession with the Amish, and for some reason they began talking about Pol Pot, Cambodia and Gentille from Marrying Millions.  Check out the book First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung.  If you found this episode interesting, read about the Peru landslide in 1971 on SipandShinePodcast.com  (https://sipandshinepodcast.com/hipstoric-lists//the-1971-landslide-of-chungar-peru) Find Shannon's show Lessons From A Lifetime Podcast where you find this one and on Twitter @fromlifetime (http://www.twitter.com/fromlifetime) and Instagram @lessonsfromlifetimepodcast (http://www.instagram.com/lessonsfromlifetimepodcast) .

Between his work as an ad writer and software developer, Mark Barr worked on a classic tale set in 1930s Tennessee that would become his debut novel, WATERSHED. He talks to James about being a Southern voice, identifying as a meat-and-potatoes stylist, setting quotas for his writing, breaking problems down into their smallest components, and fudging the details. Then, Tavia Gilbert discusses being an audiobook narrator.  - Mark Barr: https://www.readmarkbarr.com/ Buy WATERSHED: Buy WATERSHED Mark and James discuss:  Southern Independent Booksellers Association  The Charles Frazier Cold Mountain Series Fund  Meg Reid  Betsy Teter  Malaprop's Bookstore/ Cafe  THE PRETTIEST STAR by Carter Sickels  CBGBs  THE NEXT GREATEST THING: FIFTY YEARS OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN AMERICA by Richard A.

Show notes and more at: www.actualanarchy.com/43 Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast! The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom. Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it's voluntary, we're cool with it. If it's not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights - the core tenants of Libertarian Theory - and hence - human freedom. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics). ABOUT Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go. We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy. Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times. Actual Anarchy is real world examples of anarchy in action. Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom Read Rothbard – Become an Actual Anarchist PRESENTED BY Read Rothbard is comprised of a small group of voluntaryists who are fans of Murray N. Rothbard. We curate content at www.ActualAnarchy.com and on the www.ReadRothbard.com site including books, lectures, articles, speeches, and we make a weekly podcast based on his free-market approach to economics. Our focus is on education and how advancement in technology improves the living standards of the average person.
