S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing
Machine is a 2003 film by Rithy
Panh, a Cambodian-born,
French-trained filmmaker who lost
his family when he was 11. The film
features two Tuol Sleng survivors,
Vann Nath and Chum Mey, confronting
their former Khmer Rouge captors,
including guards, interrogators, a
doctor and a photographer. The focus
of the film is the difference
between the feelings of the
survivors, who want to understand
what happened at Tuol Sleng to warn
future generations, and the former
jailers, who cannot escape the
horror of the genocide they helped
create.
