Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

At least 14,000 people were imprisoned in Tuol Slen (Tool Sleng) prison, also called the S-21, which was one of the most prominent of many interrogation houses throughout Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge’s four-year reign of terror. Virtually, every one of them was killed and, it turns out, photographed by a teenage Khmer photographer.

Guests:
• Chris Riley, co-director of the Photo Archve Group and co-editor of The Killing Fields, a book that features the photos of 100 of the 6000 found negatives of the Cambodian victims.
• Doug Niven, co-director of the Photo Archive Group, now in Thailand getting oral histories from people who worked in the prison. He speaks from Bangkok.
