Globe trotting

Vinh Dao is a funny, funny man and a darn good photographer. When he's in the U.S., Dao calls California home. But more often than not, he can be found in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where he rides the baddest motorbike in town. Va-room.

Cambodian conscience

As the Khmer Rouge Tribunal continues to weigh who should be held responsible for the deaths of some 1.7 million people during the Pol Pot era, a film about Cambodia's genocide is airing here in the U.S. on HBO2 this month.


Award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki is a Japanese-American who has used his medium to create documentaries on addiction, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the HIV virus. This time around, he focuses on the atrocities that occurred more than 30 years ago at a Phnom Penh school-turned-torture camp called Tuol Sleng. Visitors to Cambodia's capital can go inside S-21, but Okazaki's film also gives somber but beautiful insight into the terrible things that happened there.
