Meeting with Pol Pot(AC2025)
In 1978, after the notorious Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia, three French delegates – an academic, a journalist, and a photographer visited the country at the invitation of the regime. On the verge of a military conflict with Vietnam, the totalitarian party endeavoured to portray a communist utopia to its Western visitors, but the illusive bubble was at risk of bursting at any time. Best known for his internationally acclaimed documentaries, Rithy PANH returns with a fiction film and continues his lifelong dedication to remembering the national trauma of Cambodia.
