SEA Globe, August 14, 2020
Cambodia in Quarantine is the result of a lot of effort from the whole Globe team, not to mention the generosity of the dozens of subjects we interviewed across the country to get an idea of the economic resilience of a nation.

You can also read the series in a special edition e-magazine harkening back to our days in print!
There was Seurn Chhim, 40, who has been out of work for months now since the garment factory at which he’d made a career suspended its operations with little notice.
