In a philosophical conversation with Jeannie Neth, an aspiring film writer/director, we discussed the current state of Cambodia, the positive effects of French colonization versus the detrimental effects of the Khmer Rouge, the weaponization of social media. Additionally, she spoke about how living in London gave her the freedom to appreciate her own culture more, about her “Mirror technique” that cured her self-hatred, and about how writing had changed her life.
