Comments

  • A must see for any visitor to Cambodia. You will experience first hand the horrors of Khmer Rouge. Will make you really appreciate what the Cambodians have gone through in the last three decades. Well preserved and detailed presentations of the prison life and the psyche of the people in the seventies.
