Film Synopsis
Cambodia, 1971. Whilst restoring ancient temples in Angkor, François Bizot, a French ethnologist, is captured by the Khmer Rouge. Held prisoner in a camp buried deep in the jungle, Bizot is accused of being a spy for the CIA. His only hope is to convince the young leader of the camp, Douch, that he is innocent.
