- Summary
- In Enemies of the People the men and women who perpetrated the massacres ђ́ا from the foot-soldiers who slit throats to the partyђ́ةs ideological leader, Nuon Chea aka Brother Number Two ђ́ا break a 30-year silence to give testimony never before heard or seen. Unprecedented access from top to bottom of the Khmer Rouge has been achieved through a decade of work by one of Cambodiaђ́ةs best investigative journalists, Thet Sambath. Sambath is on a personal quest: he lost his own family in the Killing Fields. The film is his journey to discover not how but why they died. In doing so, he hears and understands for the first time the real story of his countryђ́ةs tragedy. After years of visits and trust-building, Sambath finally persuades Brother Number Two to admit (again, for the first time) in detail how he and Pol Pot (the two supreme powers in the Khmer Rouge state) decided to kill party members whom they considered ђ́بEnemies of the Peopleђ́ة. Sambathђ́ةs remarkable work goes even one stage further: over the years he befriends a network of killers in the provinces who implemented the kill policy. For the first time, we see how orders created on an abstract political level translate into foul murder in the rice fields and forests of the Cambodian plain. We have repeatedly used the expression ђ́بfor the first timeђ́ة. This is because Sambathђ́ةs work represents a watershed both in Cambodian historiography and in the countryђ́ةs quest for closure on one of the worldђ́ةs darkest episodes. The United Nations and the Cambodian government have set up a tribunal to try the senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge for international crimes. Brother Number Twoђ́ةs trial is expected to start in 2010. The trials are widely expected to deliver a form of justice but fewer expect the truth finally to come out through this process. Sambath says: ђ́جSome may say no good can come from talking to killers and dwelling on past horror, but I say these people have sacrificed a lot to tell the truth. In daring to confess they have done good, perhaps the only good thing left. They and all the killers like them must be part of the process of reconciliation if my country is to move forward.ђ́ح
