Victim-Former Khmer Rouge
Produced by Kdei Karuna and TPO Cambodia,17 min, 2012, Khmer version with English subtitles
Victims often wish to receive acknowledgement and an apology. For perpetrators, overcoming cultural obstacles that hinder even the acknowledgement of crimes make an apology difficult to achieve. This project is a dialogue among local Cambodian communities about their role in finding justice, healing, and reconciliation.
