The Cambodian government has defended its recent crackdown on striking garment workers. Several protesters were killed last week and the government has now banned protests, which have been occurring regularly since the summer. We'll get an update on the situation.

Then, a local filmmaker returned to her home country of China to explore the lives of contemporary Chinese women. Her documentary film, Spilled Water is premiering at the Gene Siskel Film Center Jan. 10-11. Finally, we'll revisit the godfather of exotica music, Korla Pandit on Global Notes with Tony Sarabia.
