Khmer Mekong Films Present New TV Drama “Airwaves”

Tuesday, September 07, 2010

Phnom Penh: Set in a radio station from which the action spills into surrounding Phnom Penh, Cambodia's latest TV drama blends humour, action, love and pathos. The 52-episode series is currently playing twice-weekly to record audiences on CTN, Cambodia's most popular TV channel. Its central theme is to encourage harmonious and peaceful relations between the majority and minority Cambodian communities of Khmers and Chams. In particular, it aims to discourage the radicalisation of young Muslims who may be so tempted by international recruiters. AirWaves’ creator Matthew Robinson presents relevant extracts, followed by a discussion about the program themes. The event is on Wednesday at 7 PM.
