This is the true story of Amara – the story her life during the genocide of Pol Pot’s regime. Now 68 years old, and Madam Amara does not enjoy the health as one world expect of her age, a legacy from the hardships she faced from 1975 – 1979. This film documented the sadness of her life, especially the loss of her family in the genocide.
Fifteen days after evacuating from Phnom Penh, her father, General Prang, a former high-ranking cadre who was well-respected in the Lon Nol regime, was executed. The Khmer Rouge cadres hung a big rock on his neck and shot him till he fell from the bridge at Kampong Speu province. Her husband, Chak, an officer at a fortress near Kampong Chhnang province, disappeared ever since. Madam Amara was told that a villager in Kampong Chhnang province had seen her husband and 30 other Lon Nol loyalists were escorted away by Khmer Rouge cadres on 20 April 1975, for execution it was the very day at Khmer Rouge took control of Phnom Penh.
