Enemies of the People

Synopsis
The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million people in the late 1970s, yet the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Thet Sambath, an investigative journalist who lost his family in the Killing Fields, spends a decade of his life gaining the trust of the men and women who perpetrated the massacres. This film creates a watershed account of Cambodian history and a heartfelt quest for closure on one of the world’s darkest episodes.
