Our story

JUMRUM, in Khmer, meaning "Refugees Camp," holds the key to a deep memory for our founder. During the Khmer Rouge, the camp served as a second home, offering a safe place to thousands of Cambodians. This is the symbol of hope and new beginnings for our people. This story continues to inspire us so much that we decided to name our team as JUMRUM.

Founded in late 2019, JUMRUM is a passionate documentary filmmaking team. We focus on three main themes: listening, storytelling, and inspiration. Our expertise is producing the documentaries, the combination of visual cinematic communication with educational ideas, meaningful messages, and inspiring action.

In 2020, the global pandemic COVID-19 presented the miserable reality. Witnessing the toll it took on Cambodians, with job losses, unstable life impacts, and deferred dreams, pushed us to act. To respond to this urgent need for support, we launched the "Don’t give up" project. It is an impactful 10-part documentary series that explores the stories of inspiring people navigating extraordinary challenges. We documented their struggles, their moments of crisis, and most importantly, their unwavering determination to overcome those challenges and be able to keep on their journeys. The series resonated deeply with tens of thousands of viewers, leaving a lasting impact with positive comments and feedback.

After that, we are sure who we really are and what we are capable of to create some changes for this society and the world. Our work at JUMRUM has been recognized for its ability to inspire, educate, and empower. We help people understand their own potential and the power they have to create change in their communities and nation. We are committed to using the power of documentary filmmaking to uplift communities and ignite a spark of hope, even in the darkest of times.
