Out of the Poison Tree

“Three stars. out of four,.Recommended. Out of the Poison Tree is a
simultaneously sad and uplifting portrait.”
- E. Swietek, Video Librarian
On the eve of the long-awaited Khmer Rouge trial, an American survivor of the
genocide returns to Cambodia hoping to unlock the mystery of her father’s
disappearance in 1975. Thida Buth Mam’s quest intersects with many silent voices:
widows, survivors from remote villages, monks and even former perpetrators.
Her search for the truth stirs up the fractured pieces of one family’s nightmare,
unearths an unimaginable heartbreak and ultimately shines light on a people’s broken silence.
LISTEN TO praCh's 'OUT OF THE POISON TREE' theme song !!!

Cambodia's Troubled Tribunal
July 28, 2010
I.H.T. Op-Ed Contributor
By PETER MAGUIRE
International Herald Tribune (Paris, France)
Cambodia’s war crimes court, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, or ECCC, deserves credit for convicting Kaing Guek Eav, better known as “Duch,” for war crimes and sentencing him to 35 years in prison. But Duch was the legal equivalent of a “tomato can” in boxing — an unskilled opponent used to pad a win-loss record. His conviction was an easy knockout.
Now that that legal mismatch is over, the long delayed main event — the trial of the aging Khmer Rouge political leaders — Ieng Sary, Khieu Samphan, Nuon Chea and Ieng Thirith — can begin.

Cambodia's Duch sentenced to 35 years
By Miranda Leitsinger, CNN
July 26, 2010 12:34 a.m. EDT
Phnom Penh, Cambodia (CNN) -- A man who ran a notorious torture prison where more than 14,000 people died during the Khmer Rouge regime was found guilty of war crimes Monday and sentenced to 35 years in prison -- with five years taken off that sentence for time served.
The verdict against Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, also convicted him of crimes against humanity, murder and torture. It was a historic first for a U.N.-backed war crimes tribunal.
