In the second of our series on independent media in South East Asia, Gary Bryson goes to Cambodia, a country struggling to join the global community but still haunted by the ghosts of its genocidal past.
It's a legacy in which democracy is a loose idea at best, and where saying too much can sometimes be dangerous.
Gary Bryson met many Cambodians, including a radio DJ who's spent time in jail more than once for his defiant remarks.
We're also introduced to a psychiatrist who refuses to be named, who tells of the human cost of Cambodia's culture of silence.
But Gary Bryson started at a Phnom Penh university where students were gathering for a weekend internet and technology conference.
They're the 'cloggers', a collective of Cambodian bloggers who write under the radar of government censorship.
'What Can I Say in Cambodia?' was presented by Gary Bryson and produced by Gary Bryson and Neil Trevithick.
The series is a co-production of ABC Radio National and the BBC World Service.
