00:18the victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide at the site of one of the most notorious killing
00:24fields some 15 kilometers south of the capital Phnom Penh.
00:29Dozens of student actors from the Phnom Penh Art School re-enacted brutalities under the
00:34Khmer Rouge which held power from 1975 to 1979 when an estimated one-quarter of Cambodia's
00:42population was wiped out from torture, starvation, executions and misrule.

00:56city's residents into the countryside.
