The Testimony of Khmer Rouge Survivors. Comrade Duch-The Bookkeeper of Death
Description
During the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror, Comrade Duch oversaw the murder of thousands of innocent people in Tuol Sleng prison. In this documentary, Duch is brought up on charges of crimes against humanity at a special UN tribunal, and three of the prison's seven survivors describe what they endured at Tuol Sleng. Watching wrenching footage of his own brutality and facing the distraught families of his victims, Duch apologizes - leaving many to question his sincerity and raising the issue of forgiveness in the name of reconciliation.
