Exile (French: '''Exil''') is a 2016 Cambodian-French documentary film edited, written, and directed by Rithy Panh which explores the effects of forced displacement. It was selected to screen in the Special Screenings section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.[1] [2]
Filmmaker Rithy Panh made the film to depict his acts of defiance during the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Kampuchea (now Cambodia), reflecting on "how, when faced with acts of barbarism, one might resist."[3]
