The Future's Past
Directed by Susanne BrandstätterUsing Khmer Rouge Tribunal as a starting point, Susanne Brandstätter takes a deep look into the lives of young Cambodians on the brink of adulthood. As the trial accusing a perpetrator of the Pol Pot regime progresses, it becomes a catalyst for a new generation of Cambodians questioning their parents, families and neighbors about the inhumanities their nation has suffered. Brandstätter accompanies three families on two different continents - two Cambodian families and an immigrated Cambodian family in Paris, France - recognizing that the truth is only to be found among those who survived and that the past can best be questioned by those who are about to build a future.
