From acclaimed director Angelina Jolie comes a harrowing and deeply personal portrait of survival during one of history's darkest chapters. Based on the memoir by Loung Ung, this gripping drama follows five-year-old Loung, a spirited child living a comfortable life in Phnom Penh, whose world is violently shattered when the Khmer Rouge seizes power in 1975. Forced from her home and stripped of all possessions, Loung and her family are thrust into a brutal regime of labor camps, starvation, and constant fear. As the Khmer Rouge systematically dismantles families and rewrites history, Loung must navigate a terrifying new reality where trust is a luxury and every day is a fight for survival. Her journey is one of unimaginable loss, yet also of remarkable resilience, as she clings to the memories of her former life and the faint hope of reuniting with what remains of her family. Featuring powerful performances from Phoeung Kompheak and Sveng Socheata, this profoundly moving biographical drama offers an unforgettable and essential look at the human cost of genocide and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
