In 1998 the town of Anlong Veng in Cambodia's northwest became the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge to surrender to the government. Recently, the community was the scene of a new effort to help bring reconciliation and justice to the region.
On the outskirts of the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Anlong Veng sits the compound of the movement's last leader, Ta Mok.
Ta Mok, who died in jail awaiting trial four years ago, was a terrifying figure in Cambodia, but he was much admired here, one of the Khmer Rouge's last strongholds.
