Just Being There

Just Being There follows British photographer Colin Grafton, who arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in 1973, just before the Khmer Rouge genocide, and later volunteered in Cambodian refugee camps along the Thai border. Amid civil war, Grafton captured rare, intimate street photographs of daily life, revealing the beauty and humanity of Cambodia’s capital city. Years later, his camera would bear witness to the aftermath of the genocide, as thousands fled toward the border in search of safety and a new beginning.
