Hidden Photos

A Cambodian photographer embarks on a mission to redefine his country's identity, inspired by family photographs secretly buried by his mother before the Khmer Rouge's brutal regime.

Kim Hak, a young Cambodian photographer, seeks a new vision of his country, 40 years after the Khmer Rouge regime. His career begins with family pictures his mother hid before the war, which he retrieved after the regime's defeat. Hak's images reveal a new Cambodia, beyond stereotypes. Meanwhile, Nhem Ein, a photographer who worked for the Khmer Rouge, takes mugshots of Tuol Sleng prison victims, now profiting from "dark tourism" by exploiting genocide pictures.
