Not Silencing. Im Heung-soon’s Cambodia

In ‘Not Silencing: Im Heung-soon’s Cambodia’, Adeena Mey reflects on the political and pedagogical significance of Im Heung-soon’s documentary Factory Complex (2014–15), underscoring how the film reveals transnational dimensions of labour exploitation, linking struggles of South Korean and Cambodian women workers while resisting Western-centric narratives. Read against the British documentary A Cambodian Spring (2017), Im’s work emerges as a more critical practice of representation, granting agency to marginalised voices and situating labour within wider socio-political contexts.
