S21: La máquina roja de matar (2003)
Duro documental que aborda lo sucedido en el Centro de detención y torturas S-21, que se ubicaba en el centro de Phnom Penh, capital de Camboya, de 1975 a 1979. En tiempos anteriores había sido una escuela secundaria, pero en manos de Pol Pot y el Khmer Rouge, fue un lugar de exterminio de miles de víctimas. De 17.000 prisioneros en el lugar, sólo sobrevivieron tres. El documental de Rithy Panh reúne después de 27 años a dos de estas víctimas y varios de los que fueron sus torturadores, para tratar de entender por qué y cómo sucedieron torturas, violaciones, abusos, maltratos sobre gente inocente en nombre del Khmer Rouge.
