Synopsis:

Cambodia's particularly dramatic and complex history meant that it was not until 2008, thanks to an international tribunal created by the United Nations, that the genocide trial would finally be held. Under the direction of French investigating judge Marcel Lemonde, accompanied by a team of investigators from all walks of life. It is now, in an instruction that covers 2010 and 2011 that the twilight of the executioners begins... Khmer Rouge, a Simple Matter of Justice: For the first time ever a documentary unveils from within an investigation led by international justice. Khmers rouges, une simple question de justice (2012) follows the steps of an International Investigative Judge and his team, appointed by the United Nations, in tracking down those responsible for the crimes committed in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge regime from April 1975 to January 1979, as a result of which nearly 2 million people perished. Shot over a period of 3 years, and backed by interrogatory and judicial reconstitutions on the 'crime scenes', the film reveals the horror of such a regime, helping us to understand the task and stakes of international justice. Comrade Duch: The Bookkeeper of Death: Comrade Duch murdered 14,000 people on behalf of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia's Tuol Sleng prison in the 1970 and 1980s. Today, the repentant killer has been confronted by evidence of his horrendous crimes against humanity in a court, and by the people of Cambodia who suffered at his hands. In the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia, Duch (born Kaing Guek Eav) and onlookers watch wrenching tribunal footage, and face the anguish and anger of relatives of Tuol Sleng victims...
