Stark Depiction of Life Under the Tyranny of the Pol Pot Regime
I see an analogy
Above all else, Rithy Panh's Oscar-nominated documentary "L'image manquante" ("The Missing Picture" in English) is a testament to the determination of the human spirit. He uses clay figures to tell the story of the Khmer Rouge's killing fields in Cambodia, recounting how the group's attempts to rid Cambodia of anything regarded as western or educated caused one of the great tragedies of the twentieth century.
Another thing that it made me think is a similar phenomenon that we see today. Much like how the Khmer Rouge sought to eradicate all intellectualism and declared Year Zero, the Tea Party and its supporters in politics rant against "elitism", saying that they want to make America like it's "supposed to be". How soon before these people launch their own Khmer Rouge-style social engineering program?
Either way, it's a great documentary. You should definitely see it.
