Explores filmmaker Rithy Panh's quest to create the "missing images" of the period when the Khmer Rouge ruled over Cambodia between 1975 and 1979. The film recounts his firsthand experience of his family and friends' suffering during the communist regime. For most of the time, the only visual material available on this regime was propaganda films depicting an idealized world of workers happily contributing to the new country Kampuchea's collective sense of well-being. Through a mixture of clay figures and archive footage, Panh proves the opposite; most citizens had to get used to a combination of perpetual hunger and enforced labor. Official submission of Cambodia to the Oscars 2014 best foreign language film category.
