“WE WANT YOU TO KNOW”: KR SURVIVORS DIRECT THEIR OWN FILM
@ Meta House - Cambodian German Cultural Center
WE WANT (U) TO KNOW (2010, 50 mins) is a call for people in Cambodia to work together towards justice and healing in wake of Cambodia's violent past. Created via a participatory approach, Khmer Rouge survivors and their descendants designed, filmed and directed this documentary to share their stories with audiences around Cambodia and the world. The film reveals how a diverse cross-section of Cambodians are still struggling to cope with painful memories from the Khmer Rouge era in times of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. As these individuals tell their stories, they attempt to overcome suffering and break 30 years of silence by courageously confronting their memories.
