Education

Ages 14 to 15
School subjects
Screening this film provides an excellent opportunity to contrast the Angkor Empire and another major empire in history, the Roman Empire. You can ask students to conduct research into the factors that led to the fall of each empire, so as to find points of comparison and, perhaps, make them realize that the errors of the past are not always taken into consideration.
