Three by Rithy Panh
The sole member of his family to survive the Cambodian genocide, documentarian Rithy Panh has devoted himself to exorcising the traumas of his country’s past through the cathartic power of cinema. These profoundly moving works—the Academy Award–nominated The Missing Picture , which recreates the lost images of the genocide through clay figurines; Exile , a poetic rumination on the horrors his family experienced at the hands of the Khmer Rouge; and Irradiated , an unflinching confrontation with the devastation of war across twentieth-century history—are harrowing and haunting records of human atrocity and unbelievable resilience.
