Wedding 93

Documentary, by Paul Zagaris, United States, 2021.
In 1993, a bizarre incident occurred at a traditional Cambodian wedding. A wealthy rural Cambodian groom, Bol, falls in love with his bride, Rah, whose reaction to the arranged marriage develops into a series of frightening incidents that leave everyone convinced she must be possessed. There are things in the video that are still unexplained. This is the first time this story has been told to the general public.

With frightening shots that may have come from archive footage that has allegedly been just a legend for nearly 30 years, as locals weren't sure whether or not it even existed, until research by Zagaris and his crew found it have unearthed and is handed over to the director. The flow of a narrative horror film is combined with an extraordinary editing. Wedding 93 also includes recent, sometimes heartbreaking interviews with people attending the wedding, including Bol, family and friends. One of the best documentaries of recent years.
