Die Angkar (1981)
The word "Angkar" means "organization" in the Khmer language and was a name used by the Communist Party of Cambodia during the Pol Pot Regime. The Angkar governed according to its own unwritten and often brutal rules. Records and photos discovered in the interrogation and death camp "S21," previously the Tuol Sleng high school in Phnom Penh, document the deaths of 20,000 people.
