Film Screening: Songs from the Mekong

The Documentary

Songs From The Mekong follows the creative process of five musicians from different musical styles, faiths and cultures as they travel to the heart of a Cambodian jungle where they commit to composing and recording a different song every day for five days.

Inspired by their rural surroundings, musicians Nadhira (Malaysia), Jason Schadt (Canada), Azmyl Yunor (Malaysia), Gary Blanton (USA) and Steve Northcott (Canada) create a unique soundtrack inspired by escape, travel, and self-discovery.

Filmed and recorded in Kampot, Cambodia, the documentary combines elements of travel and adventure as musical genres are blended while the musicians’ profiles drive a storyline that includes an improvised musical jam at a local Cambodian orphanage, a boat cruise through rural Cambodia, busking in local villages, and missed planes.
