Pol Pot's former deputy lives in peace and comfort, which is probably
why he can afford to be so infuriatingly complacent during his
contributions to this harrowing, quietly angry film.

When Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge set the calendar at Year Zero in
1975, millions of Cambodians were forced into what was little more
than peasant slavery. The regime murdered people for the crime of
"individualism" and even for falling in love. Many more starved to
death. Nearly two million people were executed by the Khmer Rouge,
but said deputy airily dismisses any suggestions that this might in
some way have been unacceptable. "We killed only the bad people, not
the good." But others with direct and terrible experience of Khmer
Rouge atrocities have much to say. One man weeps as he recalls being
chained in a tiny cell, having been taken to the notorious S-21 prison.
His entire family was murdered during his incarceration and still he
struggles to find answers.
