Synopsis
We hear news reports about Cambodia’s civil war in the 70s. There are a vast number of Cambodian refugees moving to the US. Cameron was one of them, and he’s all grown up now. He’s moving to a new home, and he finds a rug, a gift from his adopted sister. She says, “It’s not just any rug; it’s made by a survivor of the genocide.”
The thing is filthy, so that evening, Cam beats his rug. The problem is that this rug has had enough abuse. Then it starts singing to him…
Commentary
So many things are “swept under the rug” when talking about politics and genocide. Cameron didn’t have anything to do with it, so this is all a bit unfortunate for him.
This one is really weird. It’s got a pretty heavy political message in there as well, but that only makes it better.
