Between 1975 and 1979, over 1.7 million Cambodians died in one of the bloodiest genocides in modern history. A radical Cambodian group known as the Khmer Rouge killed roughly a quarter of the population in four years.
The Khmer Rouge sought a primitive utopia by eliminating Western influences such as books, religion and technology. This revolution had the effect of setting the date back to: ...............................YEAR ZERO.
This project examines the history of the war, oral testimonies of those who survived, and the hopes and struggles of the Cambodian diaspora beyond the genocide.
