Last month audiences in selected Cambodian provinces had the chance to see the Khmer film Palace of Dreams as part of the ‘Love and Relationships’ film festival sponsored by UNESCO in cooperation with the French Cultural Centre (CCF). This drama, produced in 2008 by BBC World Service Trust, aims at reducing the risk of HIV infection transmission among young people.

Palace of Dreams is a powerful 90 minute feature about young people and their relationships. It aims to entertain and encourage the target audience to adopt behaviours that will reduce their risk of HIV infection and transmission. The drama was screened in 11 Cambodian provinces by the end of March.
