Vanity Fair “I was floored and riveted…an ode to possibility, risk, discipline, and passion.” Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic, New York Magazine Featuring Sy 
Sar , Peter Boal, Jock Soto, Benjamin Millepied and legendary ballet teacher Olga Kostrizky This is the story of Sokvannara ( Sy) Sar , a sixteen-year old Cambodian dancer who was discovered by ballet patron Anne Bass on a trip to Angkor Wat in 2000.
