John Pilger on S-21 :

For too long Pol Pot and his gang have been an iconic horror show in the west, stripped of the reasons why. And this extraordinary film, it has to be said, adds little to the why. When Pol Pot died in his bed a few years ago, I was asked by a features editor to write about him. I said I would, but that the role of « civilised » governments in bringing him to power, sustaining his movement and rejuvenating it was a critical component. He wasn’t interested.

Le nouveau documentaire de Rithy Panh, Le papier ne peut pas envelopper la braise (actuellement projeté dans une salle à Paris et diffusé sur France 3 la semaine dernière), est exceptionnel d’humanisme et de force. Je le recommande.
