PHNOM PENH: The official blessing ceremony for the start of production of a new film about Prime Minister Hun Sen’s life called "Son Under the Full Moon" was held on Monday morning, in the presence of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

"Son Under the Full Moon" will tell the story of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s life and will include historically important events in the search for peace for the people of Cambodia. The film will be made into a multi-episode series by a private producer and will be sold to radio and television stations for public broadcast.

Previously, "Son Under the Full Moon" was written as a radio play and broadcast on Bayon Radio, receiving strong support and listenership from all over the country, making it the most popular radio broadcast story.

Bayon Radio reported receiving many comments on their Facebook page from listeners asking for the radio show to be adapted into a film, so that the next generation of Cambodian children will also be able to experience it.
