The Actors’ Gang at Ivy Substation (Culver City, CA)
Tim Robbins and the Actors’ Gang have always been on the cutting edge of Los Angeles theater, and their Prison Project is just another example: They conduct workshops inside California prisons, which is where they met Cambodian Son Kosal Kiev, Phnom Penh’s premier poet. An amazingly talented spoken word poet, Kiev’s family fled Cambodia when he was 1, and then in 2011, he was forcibly returned to Cambodia as a 32-year-old criminal alien. But in 2012, he received the biggest news of his life: The ex-inmate had been chosen to represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. The documentary Cambodian Son follows his journey — both physical and psychological, as Kiev attempts to answer the central question in his life: How do you survive when you belong nowhere? Stay after for a Q&A with the film’s director at The Actors’ Gang at Ivy Substation.
