It's a great documentary in its own way. It circles around the S21 Tuol Sleng prison/interrogation center/extermination center where a small cadre of Khmer Rouge soldiers were responsible for, mostly using torture, extracting a confession out of the prisoner. The names given during torture were picked up, and the cycle repeats. Entire generations of families went out this way.
Horrible, horrible event in history, and a chilling place to visit (I did a decade ago).
This documentary allows plenty of room for the guards/soldiers/torturers themselves to describe the events from their side. Which they do.
