I found this interesting--sorry, completely forgot to reply when you first posted it. The one thing I don't like about this is the lack of Cambodian archaeologists. It's something that you see in a lot of such documentaries, I think--obviously, that's not a criticism of the work of Westerners, but I can't imagine that the bulk of such work isn't done by Cambodians who are most likely capable of being interviewed about it. There is a risk for the impression to arise that this is not the case and that somehow Westerners are enabling the natives to discover their own heritage.
yeah I agree the swashbuckling Indiana Jones motor bike shots didn't add to it either, I was more interested in the architectural histories it's amazing how vast it was.
