A new documentary film premiered in Phnom Penh on Thursday reveal forced marriages ordered by the Khmer Rouge ahead of the Khmer Rouge tribunal’s initial hearing of its four senior leaders late this month.
Red Wedding, which last 58 minutes, follows the current life of a woman who is bitterly describing her sufferings during the Khmer Rouge period when she was forced to marry one of their soldiers. Her unwanted husband raped her under the Khmer Rouge’s orders, she said in the film. Pen Sokchan was 16 at that time.
Pen Sokchan has been living with shame and embarrassment since then and suffered from insomnia.
