CLUB SOUNDTRACK - SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE MEKONG
KULCHA and RTRFM's Club Soundtrack film and DJ series continues with the stunning documentary Sleepwalking Through the Mekong .
Sleepwalking Through the Mekong follows Los Angeles band Dengue Fever on their recent journey to Cambodia to perform 60s and 70s Cambodian rock 'n' roll in the country where it was created and very nearly destroyed .
More than a rockumentary, 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.
