Geneva Peace Week 2025: We Forgive but We Don't Forget - A Documentary by Daniela Wildi & Rotha Suong

The documentary "We Forgive but We Don’t Forget", about local peacebuilders in post-conflict Cambodia, will have its world premiere on 16 October 2025 at Geneva Peace Week, a leading annual forum in the international peacebuilding calendar.

About the film: The Paris Peace Agreements of 1991 formally ended Cambodia’s civil war, which followed the devastation of the Khmer Rouge genocide (1975-79). But what happens after such agreements are signed? How is peace nurtured and sustained?
Co-directed by Swiss filmmaker Daniela Wildi and Cambodian filmmaker Rotha Suong, the documentary follows monks, genocide survivors, artists, educators, and community leaders in post-conflict Cambodia. Their stories show how peace is carried forward in quieter, everyday, and local ways that rarely make headlines but deeply shape life after conflict. The film invites viewers to confront the burden of memory, witness the resilience of communities, and recognize the courage it takes to create space for reconciliation.
