Winner of the 2010 Sundance Documentary Special Jury Prize, “Enemies of the People” will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, in Cole Cinema of the Campus Center at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and hosted by award-winning documentary filmmaker Sherry Jones. The film shows the personal journey of Cambodian filmmaker/journalist Thet Sambath, whose parents were among the approximately two million people who perished under the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s. 

The screening will be followed by a discussion with journalist Elizabeth Becker, who has reported on international and national affairs for The New York Times and The Washington Post, and authored When the War Was Over, a history of Cambodia; and David Hawk, who has documented worst case violations of human rights, including those in Cambodia.
