1
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,080
Come on, walk on.

2
00:01:07,153 --> 00:01:09,553
Faster. Forward.

3
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,248
Don't be left behind. Hurry up.

4
00:01:12,354 --> 00:01:13,754
You there, faster.

5
00:01:14,432 --> 00:01:17,592
Leave it behind. You don't need that.

6
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,120
Sovanh.

7
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:23,710
Sovanh.

8
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,760
- I rattle.
- Turn off the radio.

9
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Go on.

10
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,560
It's finished.

11
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Sovanh. Come eat.

12
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,400
News from Southeast Asia: The Khmer
Rouge have taken Phnom Penh.

13
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Foreigners need to hurry
to their embassy.

14
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,360
The situation for the local population
is unclear.

15
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,840
17 April 1975

16
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Phnom Penh is taken by
Angkar, the Khmer Rouge party.

17
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,920
The city is violently
swept clean.

18
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,320
More than one and a half million people
abandoned their homes and fireplaces.

19
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:50,480
They will meet an uncertain future.

20
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,920
You should see Lily.
She still chews his fruit for him.

21
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Enjoy it, Chou.
Before you know it, they are big.

22
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Oil, some rice and two bottles of water.

23
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,800
- That is not enough for another week.
- We will ration even more.

24
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Hopefully we can go back soon.

25
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,720
Meng, that's not a good idea.

26
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,720
Comrades ...

27
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:53,240
My family and me are exhausted.

28
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,640
It would take three more days,
and we have been running for almost a week now.

29
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
When can we go back
to Phnom Penh?

30
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200
We have a small child.

31
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,800
The food is running out, and so is the water.

32
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Still threatening
bombing there?

33
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,840
- Where are you taking us?
- Be silent.

34
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,840
Angkar knows what's good for you.
Don't ask questions.

35
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Comrade. My brother didn't want to ...

36
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,040
- Angkar is against anti-revolutionary behavior.
- Forgive him.

37
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,400
He does not understand.
We need him. Please.

38
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,040
Please.

39
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,920
You have to eat, Tuch.

40
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,480
What will happen to us?
Where are we going?

41
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Phnom Penh is closed.

42
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,600
- We hear a lot about the communists.
- They took men away yesterday.

43
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,320
They are not back yet.

44
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,920
They just lied
that bombing was imminent.

45
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,600
They will never let us return.

46
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,640
- We have to do something.
- What then?

47
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840
There are patrols.
We can't go anywhere.

48
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,640
Do we have to wait until it gets worse?
They continue to obey?

49
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,160
Enough, Meng.

50
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Listen to your brother.

51
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Koh Thom is not far away.
We can go to cousin Sok.

52
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Then we will have shelter and food.

53
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Describe cousin Sok.

54
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Is he muscular from the fieldwork?

55
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,560
He's too young for you, Mom.

56
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,920
I only met him a few times.
But he will help us.

57
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Khuon says he's generous.

58
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200
Mom? Mom, where are you?

59
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,040
What is that?

60
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,960
Don't, Mom.
That's not allowed. Wait.

61
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,520
It's from someone. What are you doing now?

62
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,760
I'm doing us a favor.

63
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Forward. Wake up.

64
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,400
The revolution is ongoing.
Go to the villages.

65
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,600
Angkar will take care of you.

66
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,480
Hurry up.

67
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:13,600
Join the revolution.

68
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360
The people will bring about change.
Forward.

69
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,960
Hop, Sovanh. We go.

70
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,480
You. Foreign imperialism
is anti-revolutionary.

71
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,800
That car must be destroyed.
We do not tolerate foreign influences.

72
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,680
Comrade.

73
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,280
- We have a large family. The car...
- It belongs to the people now. From Angkar.

74
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,560
Property is capitalist.

75
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Destruction for people and revolution.

76
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Walk on, Sovanh.

77
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Chou.

78
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Are you okay?

79
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,080
Yes. Do not worry.

80
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,680
Run through. Faster.

81
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,240
I don't cross.
There must still be a way.

82
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,280
- They cannot force us.
- Of course they can.

83
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,680
They have the weapons.

84
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,000
They don't let us turn around.
We have to cross.

85
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,560
- That river will be our death, Khuon.
- We have no choice.

86
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,200
We let the others go first.

87
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,680
Sovanh. Sovanh.

88
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,920
Sovanh...

89
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Sovanh...

90
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,520
You can't go back.
Follow the orders.

91
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Please, Comrade.

92
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,320
Our son is lost.
We have to find him.

93
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200
Run through. Angkar will take care of him.

94
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,800
He is only three years old.

95
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,000
He will return.

96
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,040
Come back.

97
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,920
Continue, I said.

98
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,600
Yes, comrade.

99
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,520
No, we have to ...

100
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Sovanh...

101
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Don't worry, Tuch.
She really can manage.

102
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,080
- She's stuck with Sovanh.
- Perhaps.

103
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,920
An old woman and a boy of
three. What should they do in this madness?

104
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,920
Chou.

105
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Chou.

106
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Are you okay, Chou?

107
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,240
Of course not, Khuon.

108
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,600
We have lost Sovanh.
Why didn't you do something?

109
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,200
Why didn't you go find him?
Why?

110
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,760
We must walk on.

111
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Chou, we have to move on.

112
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Otherwise we won't survive.

113
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,200
I'm sure she's with him.

114
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120
She is strong and stubborn like a donkey.

115
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,920
She will protect him.

116
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560
They are stuck in Koh Thom. At Sok.

117
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Safe and sound.

118
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,920
Very well.

119
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,720
Hide what you have left.

120
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
- Are you also a member?
- Sock?

121
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,320
Men are needed to bring change. Wise choice.

122
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,400
I was one of the first.

123
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Everything becomes different.

124
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,240
Angkar will purify our country.

125
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,280
The revolution brings
justice and equality.

126
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Get rid of the traitors
that ruin the land.

127
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Imperialism has us
dominated for too long.

128
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,080
Let us return
to the purity of the past.

129
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,480
We slept,
but the Khmer people will rise ...

130
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,440
and revive their grand past.

131
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Have you seen Sovanh, our son?

132
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,440
He must be with grandma.

133
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,800
We got separated
and could do nothing.

134
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,280
They were sent to the south.

135
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640
There is a lot of work to do there.

136
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,480
He will serve the revolution.
Just like you.

137
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,800
You come into my cooperative.
Isn't that an opportunity?

138
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,360
And your son is not far away.
You will of course come across him again.

139
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,800
We change often. He will then
be a good revolutionary.

140
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,320
It is tight.

141
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,080
But be happy that the cabin is empty.
New ones are being built.

142
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,160
Until that time it is picking up.

143
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Your old clothes must go.
Too imperialistic.

144
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,600
We are all equal now.

145
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,640
In the service of Angkar.

146
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,920
Tomorrow morning the leadership will take you
to inform and explain the work.

147
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,200
Make sure you are on time.

148
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,040
No change without self-criticism.

149
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,080
You will appreciate the benefits
of the revolution.

150
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,720
I'm bringing him back.

151
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,120
I promise.

152
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,120
Comrades. There.

153
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,720
Angkar welcomes you.

154
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,120
There are cooperatives throughout the country.

155
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,040
Angkar, the communist party,
has united the Khmer.

156
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,560
The party will be good for you and
free from the imperialist yoke.

157
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,840
All forces will work together ...

158
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,320
.. with us to independence and victory.

159
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,080
You have been smeared too long
with capitalism.

160
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,360
The American enemy
has ruined you.

161
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,280
But Angkar is good
and forgiving.

162
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,600
He will purify you.

163
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,440
Our ancestors serve as a guide.

164
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Follow their example.

165
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,760
There is a lot of work to do.

166
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,720
We must work together
to revive our past.

167
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,600
- Long live Angkar.
- Long live Angkar.

168
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,320
But among you, the new people,
are traitors.

169
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,600
They will be destroyed.

170
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Angkar sees everything.

171
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,360
Angkar hears everything.

172
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,240
- Long live Angkar.
- Long live Angkar.

173
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,080
You have to find him, Sok.

174
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,360
He only wanted to get Sovanh.

175
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,920
I already said it that way.

176
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,880
I'll handle it, Chou.

177
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,800
Go to work. And be obedient.

178
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,480
Khuon should have done that too.

179
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,160
May 1975

180
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,160
What is this? Nasty.

181
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Bloodsuckers don't just suck you
empty. Back to work.

182
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,360
Don't hesitate, just do it.

183
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Planting, pressing.

184
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,960
In the same motion.

185
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,560
Well done. Push harder. With your thumb.

186
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,760
- Forget those new ones, Chan.
- We are thirsty.

187
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,520
They don't deserve to drink.
See how they work.

188
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,760
They only eat.
Eating and parading around.

189
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,120
Chou, wait.

190
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,960
- Did you see him?
- No.

191
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320
I didn't cross the river.

192
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,960
Tuch, are you okay?

193
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,240
Nothing wrong.

194
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,200
Don't delay. Faster.

195
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,120
You've been lying around for three days.

196
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,480
He is not worth it.

197
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Do you remember Dara?

198
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,040
That traitor consumed by
greed and ambition?

199
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,280
He was the old governor.

200
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,920
He confessed and was punished.

201
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,400
Without the party, corruption continues.

202
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,800
You have to be critical of yourself.

203
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,760
That was difficult for me too.
But you have to be strong.

204
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,600
Accept your punishment
if you deserve it.

205
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Pain cleanses us from imperialism.

206
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Soon a new society will originate.

207
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,880
Honest and right.

208
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Equal?

209
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,240
We make the same sacrifices,
but what do your comrades eat?

210
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Many soldiers have been working for years
on the land.

211
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,440
They have earned that food.
But more needs to be harvested.

212
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,360
Angkar rewards hard work. You
deserve the right to good food.

213
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,840
And when will I see Sovanh again?

214
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,280
He will walk in one day.

215
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080
You can visit him soon.

216
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,400
If you behave.

217
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,480
Like I said,
Angkar rewards those who work.

218
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:08,520
You should see Chan.

219
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,840
The heel picker.

220
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Working fast is not enough.
Dig deeper.

221
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Start over.

222
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,240
- I tried my best. 
- All should help

223
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,560
It was wise to come back.

224
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,800
We can't go on like this, Khuon.
Have you thought about it?

225
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,200
- Between two patrols ...
- It's too dangerous, Meng.

226
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,760
The family will pay the bill.

227
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,560
We are starving.
Look at Tuch. He must eat.

228
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,280
- I know that.
- Let's try something.

229
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,920
We can't make it on this ration.

230
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,440
Enough.
I don't want you to put us in danger.

231
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,120
Save your strength, Hout. 
Treat them, so you get better.

232
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,760
They are waiting for us to die.

233
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,000
Fifteen women? I can do that
without missing. Try it further.

234
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520
- What?
- Comrade Chief.

235
00:28:28,858 --> 00:28:31,320
My son is in a camp away.

236
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,760
I haven't seen him in months.
Can I go there?

237
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,710
- It is not a day of walking ...
- Working. The field must be finished.

238
00:28:38,778 --> 00:28:42,499
And when it is finished?
I work hard, comrade.

239
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,560
I am willing to work at night.

240
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,999
Don't be selfish. Angkar cares
for your son. Be grateful.

241
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,280
Tomorrow we are going to the north
to mine. No whining.

242
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,160
But my son ...

243
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,000
What is it, Lim? Are you lost?

244
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,120
- Do you think he's okay?
- I know that for sure.

245
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,240
Children are treated better.

246
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,920
They can't say mum or dad.

247
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,040
- We have to get him back.
- I think about that every day.

248
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,120
We can't ask. You know
what they do if you don't obey.

249
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,880
And if we ask the Sok?

250
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,600
I do not trust him.

251
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,360
He is brainwashed.

252
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,560
What do we do then?
Nothing, as usual?

253
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,680
Tuch.

254
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,840
He will die without medication.

255
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,040
They will send him to the aid station.

256
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,400
That has become a house of death.

257
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Without doctors. Without medication.

258
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,040
What should I do then?

259
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,040
If you can pay with something ...

260
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,960
Do you have anything from the city?

261
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,240
Don't tell anyone.

262
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,360
I have to risk it, and run under cover.

263
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,720
I'll be back in a few days.

264
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,760
Take good care of my son.

265
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,720
How is he doing?

266
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Bad. He is getting weaker.

267
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,960
I will try to arrange extra food.

268
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,800
And Sovanh? Can you...

269
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,600
We are getting along well. And you work hard.

270
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,760
I arrange permits.

271
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,080
Hurry up.

272
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,760
Do not waste time.

273
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,600
You avoid the edges.

274
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,320
You undermine the revolution.

275
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,480
You should be ashamed. You are useless.

276
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,120
And also injured your leg.

277
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,880
You hold up your comrades.

278
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,560
We have nothing for you.
Register at the aid station.

279
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,160
Sovanh is just south of here. Go on.

280
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,680
A three year old boy.

281
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,120
So big. His name is Sovanh.

282
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,800
He was with his grandmother, Nay.

283
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,720
He's on the other side
deported from the country.

284
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,200
How long can this go on, Khuon?
She's been gone for almost a week.

285
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:09,040
It is already too late.

286
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,880
I promised, Meng.

287
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,080
Do you want him to starve?

288
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,600
I don't know about her.

289
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Maybe she's not coming back
given her bed partner.

290
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,160
- Enough.
- And if she's right?

291
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,120
If Chan doesn't come back
and we sit with her child?

292
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,280
Does he replace Sovanh?

293
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,360
He is not our responsibility.
We barely have enough food ourselves.

294
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,880
What you gave her last week
may have saved Tuch.

295
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:00,160
This life is hell.

296
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,200
We all go under it.

297
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,720
They take us one by one,
Khuon. No reason.

298
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,160
- We have to flee the country.
- Impossible, Meng.

299
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,040
How do you want to get away? They are everywhere.

300
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:19,120
All our communications are destroyed.
Who knows what happens?

301
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:23,880
And so we stay?
See us again falling dead?

302
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,320
We must act.

303
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,880
Do you think they will let us travel?

304
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,760
And where do you want to go? Thailand?

305
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,160
Do you have any route map?
Money for a smuggler?

306
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,960
- No, but...
- And if we come across a patrol?

307
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,480
You know what they do with runaways.

308
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,680
And Sovanh? Did you think of him?

309
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,400
Are we leaving him here?

310
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,040
We have no choice, Meng.

311
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,240
We have to stay. And survive.

312
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,040
That slut is back again.

313
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,760
She would sell her child for some rice.
Disgusting.

314
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,600
You harvest what you sow, Chou. Come.

315
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,240
I could not bring anything with me.
My contact has been picked up.

316
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,080
But I have your jewelry.
I only kept my share.

317
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,520
I know what you think of me.

318
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,000
What you all think.

319
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:16,840
But I have no regrets.

320
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,880
You left him alone for a whole week, Chan.

321
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640
Everything that could, happened to him.

322
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,480
While you slept with the leadership.

323
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,360
We do what we can.

324
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,120
- If my son were here ...
- Then you did it too.

325
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,800
He's a good boy.
Take good care of him.

326
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,880
Guide him through this hell.

327
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:47,320
You are on top of it again, Chan.
We take you to the aid station and ...

328
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,440
I will not abandon him.
I promise.

329
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,360
Khuon. Wake up, Khuon.

330
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,320
Meng, are you ...

331
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,840
Good luck, my brother.

332
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,880
Where are you going?

333
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,880
Did you want to flee?

334
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,680
Betrayer. Cheater.

335
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,040
Sok.

336
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,520
Everything good?

337
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,960
We have to get out of here.

338
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:02,640
Go on.

339
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,320
We'll take over the watch, Sok.

340
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,640
I'll handle this. Go back to the camp.

341
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,280
Go on. Go find your son.

342
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,480
Bora.

343
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Wake up.

344
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,040
What happened, Sok? Everything good?
Have you been attacked?

345
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,680
- Which way did they go?
- It was an accident.

346
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:29,840
I ... I thought he was a thief.

347
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,560
There was nothing to look for here.
He would guard the storage.

348
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,320
An accident?

349
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:38,760
You killed him.

350
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,720
You killed my brother, you bastard.

351
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Here, tackle. Killer.

352
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,920
Enough, Vichea. Let him go.

353
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,720
We will interrogate him in the camp.

354
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,640
No, he killed Bora.

355
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,600
Let me go.

356
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,720
Don't.

357
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,720
Hup, get in. And arrange.

358
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,840
You are going north.

359
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,800
Please, not my son.

360
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,880
He works hard and he is obedient.
A good revolutionary.

361
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,640
Your son will be with his brothers
and sisters of Angkar.

362
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,440
He will embody the party spirit.

363
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,920
Please, Comrade.
He's all I have left.

364
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,080
Take younger children,
who cannot work yet. Like him.

365
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,480
He goes with another group.

366
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,160
No, please. He needs me.

367
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:26,920
Hold on, Peuv.

368
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,520
Help.

369
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,200
Comrades. Please.

370
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,480
My daughter. Help me. She fell.

371
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,120
She can't swim.
She will drown.

372
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,680
How do we get a rope?

373
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,320
Are you going down?
It's pitch dark inside.

374
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,280
Do you hear me?

375
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,080
She doesn't answer.

376
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,200
Peuv, can you hear me? Peuv.

377
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,280
She fainted.

378
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,840
Hold on, Peuv.

379
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,320
Save her, please.

380
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,480
- Where are you going?
- Help out.

381
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,840
- She is a child.
- So what?

382
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,280
Then they know what it feels like.

383
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,840
My daughter.
My daughter is down there.

384
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,440
She will be fine.

385
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:06,680
Wait!

386
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,880
Let me go.

387
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,920
Lim has caught that bitch.
While you let us choke.

388
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,920
You have nothing for Sovanh and Lim
done. I only got this piece of fabric.

389
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,640
But I want my son back. Do you hear me?

390
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,080
You and you.

391
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,520
You two.

392
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,040
You ... And you.
You are going to work in the north.

393
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,960
Go to the trucks.

394
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,880
It's gonna be okay, Lily.
It's only for a few days.

395
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,360
Hurry up. You stop everyone.

396
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,920
Hout...

397
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:27,800
January 1977

398
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,760
Mom. Is everything alright?

399
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,280
Let me see.

400
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,080
I am in pain, I am tired.
And I am starving.

401
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,040
When does this end?
I can't take it anymore.

402
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,440
He must be five years old now. His name is Sovanh.

403
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,600
Does it mean anything to you?

404
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,998
His grandma, Nay, is probably with him.

405
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,360
They went to this part of the country.

406
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,760
We are all looking for someone.

407
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,440
And we all have encountered a Sovanh.

408
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,960
Hurry up, Peuv.

409
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:55,120
For Lily.

410
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,600
I'm sure it's from that veteran.

411
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:02,080
- Did you see how he looked at Lily?
- No.

412
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,520
He is crazy about her.

413
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,760
She must be nice to him.

414
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,480
The guards like him.
He works at the food store.

415
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,680
It is now three months.

416
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,160
Are they really gone to work?

417
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,240
Stop. I don't want to think about it.

418
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,800
They will come back.

419
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:31,720
Don't eat it, Mom. It's the girl's
that Lim and Khuon paid.

420
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,320
So what?

421
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,520
I can't go on without them,
without Sovanh.

422
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,160
Stay off, I said.

423
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,040
We will starve.

424
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,480
She can choke on her debt.

425
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,763
So what?
The point is that we eat.

426
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,040
Stay away from it, I said.

427
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,800
The men are not coming back.
We just have to make it through.

428
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,160
Give it back, you idiot.

429
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,280
You're the idiot.
You would sell your own daughter.

430
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,240
It is indeed terrible.

431
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,160
But he can eat.

432
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,800
He can help you.
Through him we can survive.

433
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,400
We can barely stand up.

434
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,120
We work day and night,
on an empty stomach.

435
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,960
If we refuse his help, we die.

436
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,120
You took everything.

437
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,240
Our life, our family.

438
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,920
Even our dignity.

439
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,320
You decide where we are going.
Whether we live or die.

440
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,600
You can destroy us.

441
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:41,040
But I still deal with one thing myself.

442
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,440
Dying without your pity.

443
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,240
Lily.

444
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,720
Hout...

445
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,160
I don't know where he is.
They separated us.

446
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,400
He went to harvest palm sugar.

447
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,840
I haven't heard anything since.

448
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,560
No. Lily.

449
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,640
Do you still think about her?

450
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,000
Here, this will cheer you up.

451
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,400
Hey, what are you doing? Open the door.

452
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,920
Open up. What are you doing now?

453
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,720
Open up. Open the door.

454
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,360
You will find them.

455
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:02,960
Do not give up.

456
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,680
Whom are you talking to, you bastard?
A henchman?

457
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,240
Dirty traitor.

458
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:13,960
Whether you are alone or with many,
Angkar finds you and finishes you.

459
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:15,600
All of you.

460
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,000
Do you know that dog?

461
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,440
Do you also work for the CIA or the KGB?

462
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,520
No, comrade. I swear.

463
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,960
You're his henchman, right?

464
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,880
Look at him. Do you know him?

465
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,720
Liar.

466
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,360
- You know...
- No, I don't know him.

467
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,360
- Are you hiding behind your age?
- I didn't do anything, comrade.

468
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,440
No, please. Have mercy.
I am innocent.

469
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,440
Angkar does this
with enemies of the revolution.

470
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,680
No. I did not do anything.

471
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:39,280
August 1978

472
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,280
Chou...

473
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:50,840
I am with you.

474
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,400
Do not leave me alone.

475
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,880
I think I found Sovanh.

476
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,120
There is a children's camp
just north of here.

477
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,600
A boy I worked with told me.

478
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:19,720
He didn't know Sovanh,
but many children go there.

479
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,720
You can't give it up now, Chou.

480
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,160
The Vietcong surround us.

481
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,320
The workers get here
as quickly as possible.

482
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,640
Fast. Look there. Hurry up.

483
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:01,600
We have to go.

484
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,800
If we ever get the chance to find Sovanh, this is it.

485
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,560
Fight for your country.

486
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,480
For every death on our side
we will avenge ten.

487
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:29,000
Quick, over here.
Fill this truck. Hurry up.

488
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:40,920
I've already looked. There is nobody here.
Look on the other side.

489
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:45,160
If we walk on, we will be out of the country in a few days.

490
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,520
Behind that hill lies Thailand.

491
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,250
It can be dangerous,
but it's our best chance.

492
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,200
Will he keep up?

493
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,840
We are together.

494
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,360
It'll be fine.

495
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:42,760
Shall I take over?

496
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,720
Stop. Don't let him escape.

497
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,720
An executive.
Because of him my brother disappeared.

498
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,800
Where did you want to go?

499
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,360
Did you expect to escape?
Angkar can no longer help you.

500
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:37,240
- Now you are beeping differently, don't you?
- He will pay.

501
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,960
And you? Why are you crying?

502
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,680
Do you know that dirty dog?
You are one of them.

503
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,240
Yes, just look at that headline.
Look at her eyes.

504
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,240
- Finish her.
- Lie down with him. Dirty bitch.

505
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,240
Overflow star. Viper brood.
You are going to die.

506
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,520
I...

507
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,320
She doesn't belong to them.

508
01:12:08,440 --> 01:12:12,520
I know her. She was with my sister
in the group. She's innocent.

509
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,800
Liar. You belong to them too.
Betrayer.

510
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:21,160
I'm like you. I was separated
from my husband and my son.

511
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,760
- She lies.
- I do not lie.

512
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,120
We have experienced the same.

513
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,840
We have been mistreated
and we were hungry.

514
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,240
- We were forced to work.
- Kill them.

515
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:33,760
Look.

516
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:38,520
I have the same scars as you.
I have experienced the same hell.

517
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,440
I died when they took a loved one with them.

518
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,200
Our roads separate here.

519
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,120
Otherwise it becomes too dangerous.

520
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,800
I have to protect my family.

521
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:59,480
- Behind that hill lies Thailand.
- I know that. But I'm not going.

522
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,040
My sister is somewhere in the south.

523
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,520
I hope I'm just as lucky.

524
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,320
Mama.

525
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:34,960
Look at me.

526
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,680
It will be fine.

527
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,990
The sooner we get over the hill,
the sooner we will be safe.

528
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,400
I will go take a look. Stay here.

529
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,240
Hey you there.

530
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,280
Stay there. Don't move.

531
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,480
Halt.

532
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:38,920
