The Khmer Rouge ran what is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most brutal regimes. Yet the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Until now. In ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE the men and women who perpetrated the massacres - from the foot-soldiers who slit throats to the party's ideological leader, Nuon Chea aka Brother Number Two - 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 Cambodia's 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 country's 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 'Enemies of the People'. Sambath's 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 'for the first time'. This is because Sambath's work represents a watershed both in Cambodian historiography and in the country's quest for closure on one of the world's 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 Two's 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: "Some 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." -- (C) Official Site

New Review For Movie Enemies of the People
This is patient, persistent, probing and fearless journalism of the highest order and it shocks to the core.Derek Adams-Time Out
How the genial Sambath remains so circumspect throughout his taut sessions with Chea is remarkable, as is so much of this must-see exposé.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Extraordinary on several fronts.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
Restraint is precisely what makes this quietly harrowing documentary, composed mostly of interviews with former Khmer Rouge henchmen, so uncommonly devastating.
Eric Hynes-Time Out New York
An extraordinary historical testimonial.
Andrew Schenker-Village Voice
Like Chillingworth's investigations of the minister Dimmesdale in Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter," Sambath's conversations with Brother Number 2 and other killers aren't just reporter's interviews. They're attempts to cleanse and purge the heart.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
Absorbing and historic.
Martin Dunphy-Georgia Straight
A fascinating documentary that illustrates Georges Bernanos's famous dictum: "La colère des imbéciles remplit le monde."
Philip French-Guardian [UK]
This astonishing documentary by Cambodian journalist Thet Sambath, whose entire family was killed by the Khmer Rouge, gets as near as anyone has done to discovering how and why the killing fields happened.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
Enemies incisively interweaves archive footage with revealing interviews...
Tom Dawson-Total Film
The matter-of-fact honesty is as unsettling as the nightmarish stories these people tell
Rich Cline-Film Threat
While providing a fascinating insight into one of history's bloodiest reigns, what shines through is Sambath's ability to bury any vengeance in favour of journalistic impartiality.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
It won't leave your head for the whole journey home (and just the journey home from the cinema).
Zara Miller-Little White Lies
Extraordinary...
Xan Brooks-Guardian [UK]
The methodology employed by Thet and co-director Rob Lemkin is occasionally manipulative and the truth often remains elusive. But this is absolutely compelling, nonetheless.
David Parkinson-Radio Times
War crimes cinema gets a new wrinkle, or scar of honour, in Rob Lemkin and Thet Sambath's enthralling investigative documentary.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
A powerful, well made documentary that serves as an important historical record, though it's understandably devastating to watch.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
Intense and harrowing, Sambath's documentary will pin you to your seat.
Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine
A patient filmmaker gets his historic interview
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
This documentary centering around the Khmer Rouge's Nuon Chea is a sobering reminder that amorality can indeed not only exist but also apparently thrive in a vacuum.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
An all-too-human face is put on genocide in this highly personal investigation into the horror of the Khmer Rouge.
David Noh-Film Journal International
One of the most amazing investigative documentary films of all time. The interviews are few but of the highest quality
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
As if the subject matter weren't disconcerting enough, Daniel Pemberton's music is positively eerie.
John P. McCarthy-Boxoffice Magazine
