The Khmer Rouge ran what is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most brutal regimes. Yet the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Until now.
In Enemies Of The People, the men and women who perpetrated the massacres – from the footsoldiers who slit throats to the party's ideological leader, Nuon Chea, aka Brother Number Two – break a 30-year silence to give testimony never before heard or seen.
Sambath is on a personal quest: he lost his own family in the Killing Fields. The film is his journey to discover not how but why they died. In doing so, he hears and understands for the first time the real story of his country's tragedy.
