Bangsaen Rama


Bangsaen Rama

A screening of Nontawat Numbenchapol’s documentary Boundary (ฟ้าต่ำแผ่นดินสูง) has been cancelled after military intervention. Students at Burapha University in Chonburi had planned to show it today, as part of their Bangsaen Rama film festival, though they were contacted by the military and told to withdraw the film as it was considered too politically sensitive. This is the second time the film has been censored in Thailand — it was subject to a token cut before its original theatrical release in 2013.
