Horrifying but redemptive documentary of the Khymer Rouge’s 1970s genocide in Cambodia

(15) 93min

Thet Sambath and Rob Lemkin’s horrifying but remarkably redemptive documentary revisits the architects of the Khymer Rouge’s 1970s genocide of the Cambodian people and somehow gets them to open up about the bloodbath and madness of those years. Powerful, important and totally unforgettable.
