Facing genocide - Khieu Samphan and Pol Pot - Trailer

http://www.story.se
The film is a search into the personality of Khieu Samphan. He was the Head of state of one of the most brutal regimes ever, the Khmer Rouge-regime in the Democratic Kampuchea. We have followed him one and half year before his arrest in 2007. He is soon facing a trial and is charged with Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes. The film gives insight into his mindset, his life today and his close relation to Pol Pot. The film is a unique story about an ex-leader the time before his arrest and before he is put on trial. The film is completed January 2010.

Lawyers hav always been present for the defense of anyone in court, serial killers, mass murderers, war criminals it's an essential part of the legal system man has created. Khmers hav a recorded history of killing each other according to Khmer authors like S. Bit in his book Warrior Heritage, long before the KR and foreigners arrived. A Cambodian ambassador to Japan once told me that over the years the Khmers have lost their sense of morals, ethics and decency. I hope they recover.
