Produced by James Gerrand
For over fifty years King Norodin Sihanouk Varman has been a pivotal force in Cambodia's destiny, juggling the fate of his people. Now in remission from cancer, King Sihanouk looks back over the highs and lows of Cambodia's struggle for survival before, during, and after "the killing fields."
In four exclusive interviews, the king looks back over fifty years of political intrigue. He has been acccused of collaborating with Pol Pot, yet also hailed as a peacemaker who ended years of carnage. Intertwined with the King's words are the observations of everyday Khmers, academics, critics, princes and rivals, staff members an even the Royal fortune teller. Filmmaker James Gerrand who documented every phase of Cambodia's turmoil since the 1960's is a leading expert on that country's complex politics. This definitive profile draws on unique archival material.
