FILM SUMMARY
In the late 1970s the Khmer Rouge murdered 1.7 million Cambodians. Some enlisted in the regime were as young as 12 when they tortured and killed one-fifth of the country's population. Nearly thirty years after the massacre, director Rithy Panh brings survivors back to the same prisons and torture houses from which they had narrowly escaped. Now, as acting tour guides in the Cambodian holocaust museum, former Khmer Rouge are confronted by the survivors as they attempt to reconcile their pasts. FILM LINKS
