Here is Panh’s translated statement: “This film is important to lớn the people of Cambodia because it is the first time that one of the most crucial periods of our history has been told on such a major scale và shot in our country và in our Khmer language. This is all thanks to the strength of character of Angelina Jolie, who was able to lớn convince, bring together, and unite the talent và energy of the actors, technicians, workers, & all the other people involved in the film, in order to lớn present the historical facts as accurately as possible, in a way that respects our memory. A film is a viewpoint, a personal narrative; it does not answer all the questions, but it contributes to lớn a dialogue and to the passing on of knowledge from one generation to lớn the next.

“This film has also been an opportunity for us lớn show that, 40 years after the disaster & the destruction of the lifeblood of our country, we have been able khổng lồ rebuild a vibrant and competitive film industry, which is capable of creating, organizing, designing, and producing a film that carries our story across borders and across the whole world.

“It is an homage khổng lồ those who were lost. They did not die in vain, & the world will not forget them.

“Many Cambodians cried when they watched the film. Cinematic fiction incorporates individual stories, & finds a particular resonance with each individual’s story. Looking through the eyes of others enables us to confront our own history, to recognize ourselves in that history, khổng lồ regain our dignity, và to reconcile ourselves with irreparable loss.”
