Film Synopsis

Phnom Penh -- Cambodia, 1975, was the year when Khmer Rouge came into power, beginning nearly 4 years of bloody rule over the Cambodians. During these dark years, the country was subject to the many new "revolutionary" policies of the "Angkar" (the common reference name of Khmer Rouge at that time). Women and children were sent to collective camps to work in farms and plantations for food they cannot eat; men were exhausted at labour camps and intellectuals or suspected persons with any "connections" that went against the revolutionary ideology were tortured and executed. Countless people of that generation were never seen again and families separated.
This is the true story of Nun Amara -- the story her life during the genocide of Pol Pot's regime. Now 68 years old, and Madam Amar does not enjoy the health as one would expect of her age, a legacy from the hardships she faced from 1975 - 1979. This film documented the sadness of her life, especially the loss of her family in the genocide.
Fifteen days after evacuating from Phnom Penh, her father, General Prang, a former high-ranking cadre who was well-respected in the Lon Nol regime, was executed. The Khmer Rouge cadres hung a big rock on his neck and shot him till he fell from the bridge at Kampong Speu province. Her husband, Chak, an officer at a fortress near Kampong Chhnang province, disappeared ever since. Madam Amara was told that a villager in Kampong Chhnang province had seen her husband and 30 other Lon Nol loyalists were escorted away by Khmer Rouge cadres on 20 April, 1975, for execution. It was the very day that Khmer Rouge took control of Phnom Penh.
In the terrible years that ensued, Madam Amara encountered many tribulations in her attempts to keep her family members alive. Without proper food, her youngest daughter suffered from edema and malnutrition. She tried to save her daughter's life by exchanging her diamond ring for medicine.
In 1976, her eldest daughter had permission to visit Madam Amara, whom were separated in 1975. Unfortunately, when her daughter arrived at the village, madam Amara had already left to work at another village. Sadly, the next morning, her daughter left for the children's camp by boat. The boat was over-loaded and capsized, drowning her daughter.
Her two brothers who were students, also died in the genocide. By 1979 and the end of Khmer Rouge's rule, Madam Amara along with a daughter and son were all that is left of her family.

Through this film, we see the many acts against humanity during Khmer Rouge's rule over Cambodia and through Madam Amara's story we will be able to feel the anguish and sorrow that many other Cambodian families suffered during those years of starvation, exhaustion and indiscriminate executions. It is a part of our nation's history that we do not wish to see repeated ever again.
