Enemies of the People

Gripping account of a man who seeks the faceless killers of the Khmer Rouge, and tries to understand them, asks them to tell their story.

He manages to get all the way up to Brother Number Two, Nuong Seng, which is simply amazing. Three years it took him to earn the old man's trust.

Beautiful images of the Cambodia I remember so well. Horrifying stories. Honesty. Facing the past. Gave the chills.
