Description
Between 1975 and 1979 Cambodia endured one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century under the rule of the Khmer Rouge. One hundred prisoner photographs from the S-21 detention centre reveal this shocking and littleunderstood period in history, illustrating the fragility of human rights under political tyranny. The exhibition includes detailed historical context and first person accounts of survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime now living in Canada.
