Description: Led by a former schoolteacher named Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge regime killed between 15 and 40 percent of the Cambodian population in a brutal attempt to transform the nation into a classless society. At the heart of this orchestrated campaign of terror was a death camp known by the code name S-21. Untold thousands of prisoners entered S-21. Only seven escaped alive. INSIDE POL POT'S SECRET PRISON is a harrowing look at one of the most purely evil institutions of the 20th century. Riveting interviews with former guards, executioners and two survivors paint a picture of the unspeakable horrors that were commonplace at S-21. The incredibly detailed prison archives open a window into the Khmer Rouge's program of genocide, raising the question of why no one has been prosecuted so far for the crimes against humanity committed in Cambodia.INSIDE POL POT'S SECRET PRISON also includes an interview with journalist Nate Thayer, who interviewed the ailing former dictator just months before his death.

Description: This documentary, directed by a survivor of the genocide, chronicles the systematized murder perpetuated by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, specifically the torture and killing of the educated classes in the notorious S-21 prison, which is now a museum. But this film is not about statistics and generalized history. Instead, it focuses on two survivors who return to the prison, coming face-to-face with some of the guards who insist that they were only following bureaucratic orders.

Description: The Angry Skies is a compelling documentary which follows Blake Kerr--a New York-based doctor who investigated human rights violations for thirteen years in Tibet--as he travels to Cambodia to uncover the truths behind the rise of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970's and their legacy today. Before the international tribunal with the United Nations and Cambodian courts started trying those responsible for genocide committed under Pol Pot's murderous regime, Dr. Kerr traced and interviewed survivors of the S21 torture center, who still fear for their lives. Dr. Kerr and filmmaker Casey Earl first come face-to-face with the precarious culture that permeates the region when they are caught up in the anti-Thai riots that rocked Phnom Penh in January 2003. When their investigations attract the attention of the Cambodian authorities, Hun Sen's secret police start to monitor their activities.
