Cambodia: Finding Comrade Duch, 15 minutes, 2009 (Ref:
750) |
| |
| |
|
|
This is the remarkable
story of Comrade Duch - Pol Pot's chief executioner
- and the man who changed the course of his life,
Nic Dunlop, the Irish photographer who tracked him
down in 1999. Dunlop speaks about when he found him,
that Duch had become a devout christian. We speak to
his pastor, Christopher Lapel, who - himself a
victim of the Khmer Rouge regime (he lost his father
and siblings) has had to deal with the fact that his
convert turned out to be The Khmer Rouge's cruel
mass murderer.
Comrade Duch is now on trial in Phnom Phen -
30-years after ‘the killing fields’. He openly
admits his crimes. Duch, wh's real name is Kaing
Giek Eav, was in charge of Pol Pot’s most notorious
prison Tuol Sleng. Over 15,000 people were tortured
and killed there during the cruel reign of the Khmer
Rouge from 1975-79.
