A film by David Aronowitsch and Staffan Lindberg
The film is a search into the personality of Khieu Samphan. He was the Head of state of one of the most brutal regimes ever, the Khmer Rouge-regime in the Democratic Kampuchea. We have followed him one and half year before his arrest in 2007. He is soon facing a trial and is charged with Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes. The film gives insight into his mindset, his life today and his close relation to Pol Pot. The film is a unique story about an ex-leader the time before his arrest and before he is put on trial. The film is completed January 2010.

Very interesting perspective. People always as a society feel a need to label and judge others as monsters and guilty for something they were not able to witness personally.
We should listen to the people we condemn and see what the truth in total really is.
Khiev Samphan doesn't disapprove Pol Pot, he always defend what Pol Pot did, Khiev Samphan had ordered to kill Khmers after the war, in 1975, he ordered to kill Lon nol simple solders, he is guilty, he is killer, he never show any sincere remorse..
