CRITIC’S PICK: How and why did Angkor fall? That’s the question posed by this documentary on the fate of the largest and most advanced metropolis of the pre-industrial world. Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Kingdom from the 9th to the 15th centuries and spanned more than 400 square kilometers. Its ruins were discovered in 1860 and the vast location, consisting of temples, basins, dykes, reservoirs, canals and communication routes, is considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. According to Fernbank, the film reveals every facet of Angkor’s storied existence — from housing the largest religious monument in the world to building an engineering marvel, and from being the wealthiest trading center of its age to resist invading armies. The documentary has an open-ended run at the museum. — Kevin C. Madigan
