MTV 'Enslaved' concert

A couple of weekends ago, on Jeltje's last night in Kampong Cham, there was an MTV 'Enslaved' concert.
MTV go around the provinces putting on concerts with local bands and entertainment to try and raise the awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking and exploitation across Asia. This is a huge problem across Asia, from young Filipina women being trafficked to Malaysia and forced into sex work, young Cambodian men trafficked for forced on board fishing vessels, to Indonesian women trafficked to Malaysia and forced to work as domestic slaves to name just a few of the situations that happen.

So we popped up to the concert to see what it was like, very Khmer, and to show some support.
