Renowned for his hauntingly personal documentaries on the Cambodian genocide and the devastating legacy of the Khmer Rouge, director Rithy Panh returns to narrative filmmaking for the first time in over a decade with this powerful historical drama inspired by journalist Elizabeth Becker’s book “When the War Was Over.” In 1978, three journalists are invited to Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) by the Khmer Rouge to conduct an exclusive interview with the regime’s leader, Pol Pot. The country seems idyllic. But under the eyes of the journalists, the beautiful picture begins to crack, revealing the hidden horrors.
