Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) \u2013 1978. Three French journalists are invited by the Khmer Rouge to conduct an exclusive interview of the regime\u2019s leader, Pol Pot. The country seems ideal. But behind the Potemkin village, the Khmer Rouge regime is declining and the war with Vietnam threatens to invade the country. The regime is looking for culprits, secretly carrying out a large scale genocide. Under the eyes of the journalists, the beautiful picture cracks, revealing the horror. Their journey progressively turns into a nightmare.\u00a0Meeting with Pol Pot was freely inspired by journalist Elizabeth Becker\u2019s account in When The War Was Over.<\/em><\/p>\n
