Talk about ripped from the headlines!
Tonight, (Thursday February 23) the Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is showing Duch: Master of the Forges of Hell, as part of its Docville series.
Earlier this month, the subject of the film, Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, was sentenced to life in prison, after losing an appeal on the length of his sentence.
In 2010, Duch was sentenced to 19 years for war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture and murder. Though he thought the sentence was too long, prosecutors, survivors and human-rights activists deemed it too short.
According to an article in The Guardian, Duch “oversaw the killing of at least 12,272 victims but some estimates have placed the number as high as 16,000.”
As many as 2.4 million Cambodians died between 1975 and 1979 when the Khmer Rouge ran the country.
Some were executed, others died of starvation while still others were quite literally worked to death.

Cambodian director Rithy Panh escaped from Cambodia to safety in Thailand and then France, after his parents, sisters and nephews died under the Khmer Rouge regime.
Rithy Panh has dedicated his life as a filmmaker to bearing witness to the atrocities committed in Cambodia.
Duch: Master of the Forges of Hell is the result of 300 hours if interviews Panh made with Duch.

Don't really read this article because it is misleading.
Always junk reports under the most corrupted CPP officials who are thieves of Khmer Nation.
Sending this evil to jail for life don't meant shit? I would rather seeing him put to death or stone to death...

The Khmer Rouge Organization (Angkar-leu អង្គការលើ) baptized (Duch) instead of real names (Kaing Guek Eav) is not the revolutionary name as is commonly believed but rather to hide the truth.
The Khmer Rouge Organization (Angkar-leu អង្គការលើ) amplified, and broadcast advertising, the false name (Duch) as the scapegoat to launder their crime against humanity.
The false name (Duch) is copied and repeated Non-Stop by the global media to continue deceive the world and also to attack and dishonor real name famous (Duch) such that (Duch Sidim; Duch Kimhak; Sok Duch) and (Duch Som) grandfather's Ms.Theary Seng etc.

L'organisation Khmer Rouge ( Angkar-leu អង្គការលើ) a baptisé
(Duch) à la place du nom réel (Kaing Gueak Eav ) le chief prison de Tuol Sleng. Le nom (Duch) n'etait pas le nom révolutionnaire comme on le croit mais plutôt pour cacher la vérité.
L'Organisation Khmer Rouge (Angkar-leu អង្គការលើ) a amplifié et publié le faux nom (Duch) comme le bouc émissaire pour
blanchir leur crime contre de l'humanité.
Le faux nom (Duch) est copié , répété Non-Stop par le média
et particulièrement le cinéma documentaire de continuer à faire tromper le public et en même temps pour attaquer, déshonorer les noms célèbres tels que ( Duch Sidem; Duch Kimhak; Duch Som) et le maître de la musique traditionnelle khmère(Sok Duch) de Takèv province etc...
