Title:

Khmer Traditional Dancer, Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Caption:

During the Khmer Rouge occupation (1975-79), more than 90% of the country's artists fled or perished. Today, as Cambodia struggles to re-emerge from decades of war and poverty, Khmer people look to the rebirth and re-creation of traditional dance as a testimony to the endurance of their culture.
