A Finer-Grained Truth: Film and Justice in the Post-Genocide Landscapes of Cambodia and Rwanda

Abstract:

In 1979, 14-year-old Rithy Panh crossed the border from Cambodia into Thailand with his sister and escaped the organized purges and starvation campaigns of the Khmer Rouge, from which the rest of his family did not survive. Thirty years later he returned to Phnom Penh and gathered a group of Khmer Rouge torturers and interrogators at the site where they had committed their most brutal crimes: Tuol Sleng Prison, code-named S21. What he wanted from them was not justice, exactly—at least not in a public sense. What he wanted was details. Explanations. To put them back in the role of torturer, to make them repeat their old routines, and then to see what came from that. Panh fixes his camera on their faces, capturing silences, gestures, contradictions, and unintended confessions in real time. He asks them the same question over and over, allowing them to magnify a form of truth, even as they dissemble and lie. This interaction became the film S-21: La Machine de Mort Khm ere Rouge (S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine). The Uncondemned, a film directed by Michele Mitchell and Nick Louvel, takes on a similar mass iniquity, but in more traditional documentary from—that is, with the clarity of distance from its subject: the rapid-onset Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Like Cambodia, this conflict took place between two classes of the same people. These conflicts had a neighborly character, that is, Hutus cleansing their Tutsi or moderate Hutu neighbors, apartment by apartment, and killing people they knew well out on the streets. Whereas in Cambodia the deaths of several million people were secret, with orders emanating from a shadowy consortium, in Rwanda the deployment of government-sponsored death squads was not a secret, and everyone knew who was responsible. The Uncondemned documents the trial of the first man ever tried and convicted of genocide by an international court. If it seems unbelievable that the first conviction for genocide did not occur until nearly the 21st century, remember no one at the Nuremberg
