Preview: Enemies of the People (2010)

Synopsis:

The son of two victims of the Khmer Rouge massacres goes on a mission to find out why the genocide that plagued his country occurred from the mouths of those who perpetrated the crime.

• Poster: C+

Review:

A decent poster for a documentary, but not one of exceptional quality. It does convey the purpose of the film simply, but only to those already familiar with the documentary or the trailer.

• Trailer: A

Review:

Disturbing, brutally honest, poetic, haunting music...and that's just the trailer. I can't imagine how focused and disturbing the documentary itself may be.

Oscar Prospects:

This could be a major Oscar contender for Documentary Feature. It's got all the earmarks of what the Academy loves: human tragedy, soul searching and politics.

Release Date:

• July 30, 2010
