The Storm Makers is a documentary aimed at exposing human trafficking in Cambodia. Although many Cambodians have been sold as slaves, women are the ones who have suffered it most. The film exposes this issue through the testimony of a former slave in her return home where she is welcomed by her mother and where people call her a storm maker.
​
The Storm Makers is not only a film about human trafficking. In the film, you can see a lot of social problems that are very relevant nowadays in Cambodia like social violence, illiteracy, land grabbing, domestic violence, slavery, modern day slavery.- Guillaume Suon, director of The Storm Makers.
