Even a Bird Needs a Nest is a documentary film about forced evictions in Cambodia, a phenomenon that is raging throughout the country.

In Phnom Penh, the state capital, residents of the Boeung kak district are forcibly evicted from their homes, obliged to live in relocation camps, without basic services and infrastructures.
