518    Originally produced by Old Street Films in 2009. 
520    In Enemies of the People the men and women who perpetrated
       the massacres - from the foot-soldiers who slit throats to
       the party's ideological leader, Nuon Chea aka Brother 
       Number Two - break a 30-year silence to give testimony 
       never before heard or seen. Unprecedented access from top 
       to bottom of the Khmer Rouge has been achieved through a 
       decade of work by one of Cambodia's best investigative 
       journalists, Thet Sambath. Sambath is on a personal quest:
       he lost his own family in the Killing Fields. The film is 
       his journey to discover not how but why they died. In 
       doing so, he hears and understands for the first time the 
       real story of his country's tragedy. After years of visits
       and trust-building, Sambath finally persuades Brother 
       Number Two to admit (again, for the first time) in detail 
       how he and Pol Pot (the two supreme powers in the Khmer 
       Rouge state) decided to kill party members whom they 
       considered 'Enemies of the People'. Sambath's remarkable 
       work goes even one stage further: over the years he 
       befriends a network of killers in the provinces who 
       implemented the kill policy. For the first time, we see 
       how orders created on an abstract political level 
       translate into foul murder in the rice fields and forests 
       of the Cambodian plain. We have repeatedly used the 
       expression 'for the first time'. This is because Sambath's
       work represents a watershed both in Cambodian 
       historiography and in the country's quest for closure on 
       one of the world's darkest episodes. The United Nations 
       and the Cambodian government have set up a tribunal to try
       the senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge for international 
       crimes. Brother Number Two's trial is expected to start in
       2010. The trials are widely expected to deliver a form of 
       justice but fewer expect the truth finally to come out 
       through this process. Sambath says: "Some may say no good 
       can come from talking to killers and dwelling on past 
       horror, but I say these people have sacrificed a lot to 
       tell the truth. In daring to confess they have done good, 
       perhaps the only good thing left. They and all the killers
       like them must be part of the process of reconciliation if
       my country is to move forward."
