In the late 1970s, Cambodia was torn apart by the Khmer Rouge, a regime that promised “reeducation” but delivered only silence, starvation, and death. In this immersive story, you step into the life of a prisoner forced into a reeducation camp — herded from your village, stripped of identity, and reduced to a hollow shadow under endless labor, hunger, interrogation, and fear.

More than 1.7 million Cambodians — nearly a quarter of the country’s population — perished during this period. Most left no names, no markers, only shallow graves and unrecorded silence. Their stories are rarely told. Tonight’s episode is not only about survival but about remembering what was nearly erased.
