Synopsis
A survivor of the Cambodian death camps of the 1970s, Roshane Saidnattar meets the chief theorist of the Khmer Rouge, Khieu Samphân. Spurred by the man's lies and denial, Roshane and her mother return to Cambodia and find the strength to talk about their experiences. Weaving together the filmmaker's memories and testimony by her mother, with never-before-seen archive footage as background to the interview with Khieu Samphân, the documentary offers an intimate look at a madness that devastated an entire nation.
