The lives of millions of Cambodians were devastated by the totalitarian Khmer Rouge Pol Pot regime. For every two people who survived, one person perished. About 8,000 Pol Pot survivors now live in New South Wales, mainly in Sydney.
We would like to acknowledge the extraordinary courage and spirit of the six participants for sharing their memories and being filmed with their special keepsakes and photographs. We are grateful for their generous support of this project.
