U.S. Theatrical Premiere - S21: THE KHMER ROUGE KILLING MACHINE
On Wednesday, May 19 Film Forum in New York City will present the U.S. Theatrical Premiere of Rithy Panh's acclaimed documentary. An article by Leslie Camhi in the Sunday, May 16 Arts section of the New York Times does a good job of framing the film, and why it is so important.

S21: THE KHMER ROUGE KILLING MACHINE has already had a real effect on the movement to hold those guilty of genocide accountable. After seeing S21, former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan acknowledged for the first time that his regime committed genocide. Panh says he would like to see the highest-ranking Khmer Rouge leaders, who are still alive, put on trial. But what is more urgent for Panh is to help Cambodians work on their personal memories, "It is a question of who we are, where we come from, how we explain ourselves to our children."
