The film was part of her master thesis and is titled: “Toward a Local-Visual Turn: Understanding Peacebuilding in Post-Conflict Cambodia through Documentary Filmmaking” and was supervised by Professor Achim Wennmann. 

The film  documents the local, everyday, and often unseen efforts of monks, genocide survivors, artists, educators, and community leaders in post-conflict Cambodia who have been building peace ever since the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements formally ended decades of war that followed the genocide. The film shows that peace is not a finished state, but an ongoing practice. It does not erase the pain of the past, but speaks to a world still shaped by violence - and to the strength it takes to remember without hatred, to forgive without forgetting, and to build without fear.

Daniela has previous experience in documentary filmmaking, including her award-winning film J’étais un enfant qu’on ne voyait pas, which has been screened in Switzerland and internationally.

The documentary is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Geneva Graduate Institute on 16 October 2025, during Geneva Peace Week.
