Cambodia in 1979, a year after the Khmer Rouge's brutal reign was ousted by the Vietnamese army, is the focus of this documentary. It delves into the country's recent history and provides footage to explain the events that led to this situation, including the involvement of the USA and China. The film takes viewers to hospitals, former torture centers, and the desolate capital city, where they hear from victims and former soldiers of the regime, as well as doctors. It also sheds light on the devastating effects of hunger and disease on Cambodian children, and questions the international community, particularly the West, about their lack of response. Viewer discretion is advised due to disturbing images.
