Facing Genocide
@ Meta House

A prominent member of the circle of leftist Khmer intellectuals studying in Paris in the 1950s, Khieu Samphan became one of the closest collaborators of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge "Head of State." Swedish filmmakers David Aronowitsch & Staffan Lindberg have followed him two years before his arrest in 2007. In the next months he will be tried for "Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes and Genocide" at the ECCC. This new documentary FACING GENOCIDE (94 mins, 2010, English/English subs) is only screened at Meta House. It also features interviews with Theary Seng, Jacques Vergès and Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan's wife.
