Cambodian writer and director Rithy Panh delivered a powerful film with this utterly original film. The atrocities of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge are recreated with the help of clay figures, archival footage and personal narration which sheds light on a nation's dark chapter of history.

Panh masterfully created the story in a unique and original way with the use of clay figures that has to be seen to be believed. 1001 Films' coverage of upcoming releases.
