Cambodia. Children of genocide
Description
From 1975 to 1979 the Khmer Rouge killed a staggering 1.7 million people, an orchestrated slaughter of almost a quarter of Cambodia's population. Today, years after the last remnants of the Khmer Rouge surrendered their arms, the victims of their genocide are still waiting for justice. Pressure from the UN has prompted the Cambodian government to set up a genocide tribunal. Still, many survivors doubt that this tribunal will bring convictions and punish the guilty. Meanwhile, people live door to door with men who killed their families, a situation fostering cynicism and despair.
