In the Life of Music is a powerful intergenerational tale that explores love, war, and a family’s relationship to a song, ‘Champa Battambang,’ made famous by Sinn Sisamouth (The King of Cambodian Music). Exploring three different decades, the film depicts the lives of people whose world is inevitably transformed by the emergence of the Khmer Rouge Regime. Dane shares screenwriting credits with director Caylee So.
