In 1975, Khmer Rouge became the ruling party of Cambodia after overthrowing the London government. After their leader Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge imposed the extreme form of social engineering to Cambodian society. They form an anti-modern, anti-Western ideal of rebuilding the radical form of agricultural communism, "classless agricultural society", all people must work in group farms or forced labor projects I want to do. The execution of the Khmer Rouge Revolutionary Army is mainly extreme violence.

First, they killed my father: Cambodian daughter remembered by Loung Ung. As one of seven children of senior government officials, Loung Ung was living privileged life in Phnom Penh, Cambodia until the age of five. In April 1975, Pol Kot's Khmer Rouge troops rushed into town, and Wen's family was forced to escape.

Cambodian daughter first killed my father in filming Angelina Jolie. "Disappointment" is a discreet expression. This movie can not capture the emotional depth of Loung Ung's beautiful and painful work. I can easily recognize that I am biased. I love Ung's books. It is an eye opener, and I educate myself about events, culture, and history I do not know. When I heard the next movie, I was very happy to see it move to the screen. These pages are a painful vision drawn through the eyes of innocent children, pictures of war and trauma. From this perspective, this film can not accurately capture these innocent ideas that can not be conveyed.
