From Writer & Director Rithy Panh, starring Irène Jacob, Grégoire Colin, and Cyril Gueï – Meeting with Pol Pot.
Meeting with Pol Pot was freely inspired by journalist Elizabeth Becker’s account in When The War Was Over.
Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) – 1978. Three journalists are invited by the Khmer Rouge to conduct an exclusive interview of the regime’s leader, Pol Pot. The country seems ideal. But behind the Potemkin village, the Khmer Rouge regime is declining and the war with Vietnam threatens to invade the country. The regime is looking for culprits, secretly carrying out a large scale genocide. Under the eyes of the journalists, the beautiful picture cracks, revealing the horror. Their journey progressively turns into a nightmare.
