“Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge Trial” — To the world outside, Cambodia may be best known for its killing fields. A quarter of this country’s population, approximately 2 million people, perished during the genocidal Khmer Rouge reign in the 1970s.

With two-thirds of today’s Cambodian population not even born during the Khmer Rouge years, the first trial of a Khmer Rouge leader may seem to many to be too little, too late. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Phnom Penh on how this first, much-publicized trial of Kaing Guek Eav, commander of the notorious Tuol Sleng prison, might help teach the youth of this country about its past and enable the nation to move on.

The subjects are experienced spiritual directors with the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation.
