This was an attempt to bring to life the nightmare Cambodia suffered 1975-79. The focus was on a particular facility where people were brought, tortured and murdered...all for the same mysterious reasons people everywhere do these things. I suppose because they can.
The whole film was interviews and confrontations between guards and former prisoners who miraculously survived. Some of this would have been good but it didn't work for a whole film. An audience who didn't know this story already would have been unenlightened as to what this was all about. It would have seemed like yet another recital of personal atrocities.
Too bad. There's a helluva story here.
