Socialism on Film
Content:
Solemn documentary exploring the treatment of internees at Tuol Sleng prison in Cambodia during the regime of Pol Pot. [WARNING: distressing content and graphic images featuring the corpses of prisoners and children.]
Content:
Featuring footage of political leaders and the empty prison, the film includes dozens of photographs of prisoners before and after torture, and shares official explanations of deaths from ledgers kept by guards. Interviews with some of the prison's seven survivors paint a vivid picture of conditions. The film is highly critical of the relationship between Cambodia and China, and the regime's use of symbols such as the hammer and sickle, and compares images of Cambodian prisoners to Jewish victims of Nazi concentration camps. Other footage includes interviews with a high-ranking Angkor member, Ieng Sary, and the CIA official Ray S. Cline
