The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million people in the late 1970s. Yet
the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Until now. Enter Thet
Sambath, an unassuming, yet cunning, investigative journalist who spends a
decade of his life gaining the trust of the men and women who perpetrated the
massacres. From the foot soldiers who slit throats to Pol Pot's right-hand man,
the notorious Brother Number Two, Sambath records shocking testimony never
before seen or heard. Having neglected his own family for years, Sambath's work
comes at a price. But his is a personal mission. He lost his parents and his siblings
in the Killing Fields. Amidst his journey to discover why his family died, we come
to understand for the first time the real story of Cambodia's tragedy.
UK/Cambodia, 2009, 93 min.
