In 2005, a documentary crew followed the Los Angeles-based Cambodian pop band Dengue Fever to SE Asia to capture the response the band got to their take on Khmer Rock, a style of music that flourished in Cambodia before the Khmer Rouge. The result, SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE MEKONG, is a captivating, humorous and sometimes deeply moving film which tells the story of a band seeking not only to give back something to the country which gave it so much, but endeavoring to aid in the preservation of Cambodia's musical legacy.
