The Missing Picture
A haunting, formally innovative documentary that uses clay animation to bear witness to genocide, transforming a medium of childhood play into an instrument of historical reckoning and personal testimony.
Rithy Panh uses clay figures, archival footage, and his narration to recreate the atrocities Cambodia's Khmer Rouge committed between 1975 and 1979.
