Academy Award-nominated documentary detailing the horrors of the
Cambodian genocide which occurred under the Pol Pot dictatorship of
the late-1970s. Using clay animation as a way of illustrating the
undocumented experience of the common people, film-maker Rithy Panh
tells the story of how he and his family were taken from their home
in the city and forced to work in rural labour camps as part of the
Khmer Rouge's social engineering policies. Not only did Panh
witness first-hand a number of atrocities, including routine
executions and widespread malnutrition, as a result, his own father
starved himself to death as a way of protesting against the regime.
The movie received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language
Film.
