Swimming to Cambodia
This monologue performance by the late Spalding Gray can be considered
a documentary because threaded through funny satire is a lecture
on the geography of Cambodia and a journalistic report of the civil unrest,
revolution, and incursion by the US that occupied that country. It’s
comedic history. It’s also about him. You’ll learn a lot, while laughing.
By Jonathan Demme
