Our take

If you saw the Oscar®-nominated, Cannes-winning doc The Missing Picture you know how badly the cinema needs to tell the many stories—both personal and larger—of the Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror in Cambodia. Brother Number One tells of a haunting personal story, and a resilient quest for justice.
