KSL's general conference special "Kingdom of Faith: The Saints in Cambodia" documents how the LDS Church grew from a handful of Cambodian refugees who joined the faith to more than 18,000 members in the Southeast Asian nation today.
The documentary traces the church's presence in Cambodia from its earliest refugee converts through the formal establishment of congregations and the announcement of the Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple. Cambodia was closed to outside religious influence under the Khmer Rouge.
