Deacon of Death is an independent film by Jan van den Berg. The film follows the story of Sok Chea, a Cambodian woman who confronts the man whom she holds responsible for the death of her family and other villagers under Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge regime when she was a child.

Cambodians must confront the past and be open. It gives the country the possibility to leave the past behind and to focus on the future. ‘You can’t clean dirty water with dirty water’ as the Buddhist monk says in the film.
