The reign of the Khmer Rouge lasted three years, eight months and 21 days. A bloody regime that committed one of the worst genocides in modern history. The world would learn the scale of the massacre too late: two million dead, a quarter of the population. But none of the leaders was ever brought to trial. Thirty years later, there is now a good chance of a trial taking place. Under international pressure, the Phnom Penh government signed a law, in October 2004, to create a mixed court on which international and Cambodian judges would sit. This film allows us to understand why most Cambodians share the positions of Khieu Samphan, how the survivors are organizing for their duty of memory despite the hostility of the actual government, why it is indispensable that this trial be a fair one so that Cambodia can stop reliving this painful past.
