On 28 February 2009 Kaing Guek Eav alias Duch appeared in the ECCC courtroom and made a two-hour speech where he asked for forgiveness for the appalling torture and execution of at least 13000 prisoners at Tuol Sleng and probably more in the security camps of M-13 and M-99. Until this date with the exception of a handful of judges lawyers and a priest he had not been seen or heard of for the last thirty years. How did a man known to be kind and generous to fellow students possibly transform himself into Comrade Duch the Khmer Rouge's infamous executioner? This documentary revisits and searches for clues.
