The film "The Conscience of Nhem En" is a haunting story about a young soldier who took ID photos of thousands of innocent people before they were killed by the Khmer Rouge. The movie explores the themes of conscience and complicity, asking the question "What would you do?" in the face of cruelty. Nhem En, 16 years old at the time, was a photographer at the notorious Tuol Sleng Prison, where 17,000 people were tortured and killed. The photos he took serve as a chilling document of the atrocities committed.
