This is a 2003 documentary film (French: S-21, la machine de mort Khmère rouge) directed by Rithy Panh. Rithy, himself a survivor of the Khmer Rouge, brought together two former prisoners of the regime with their former captors at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the former Security Prison 21 (S-21) under the Khmer Rouge.
In Cambodia, the film was a catalyst for confession about the Cambodian Civil War. Former Khmer Rouge leader Khieu Samphan saw the film and was moved to admit the existence of the prison after years of publicly denying it (Turnbull, Robert (2007-04-05). "Staring down the horrors of the Khmer Rouge")
Awarded with Best Documentary prize by the European Film Academy & the Prix François Chalais at the Cannes Film Festival
