Monkey Dance

Monkey Dance has screened at universities and community colleges around the United States, in both courses and special events.  Often the director or members of the Angkor Dance Troupe speak as special guests with the film. At the college level, the film is appropriate for courses on immigration, ethnicity, American studies, sociology, or anthropology. It can also used in journalism and writing classes, or as part of campus diversity events.
