Documentary cinema has the quality of serving as a means of catharsis when those in front and behind the camera address a painful past.
The case of this list of documentaries available on Guidedoc has to do with the impression of a massacre. Cambodia, Armenia and the border between Syria and Turkey are places where the struggle for justice and dignity still gravitates.

After having shaken the audiences of the Sundance Film Festival, this documentary continues to transcend as one of the boldest approaches to the massacre perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in the late 70's. Director Thet Sambath, a young man who lost his relatives back then, decides to confront the murderers of more than two million people, who still remain unpunished in their old age.

Director Chaghig Arzoumanian takes a journey through her past generations and reimagines the painful pilgrimage that her grandparents' exile meant when the Armenian genocide was perpetrated in 1915. In the documentary we see landscapes and geographies filmed in the present and seen through Aszoumanian's eyes. But these images are rather being mediated through time by all the characters that make up that family tree that vibrates in this intimate and personal essay on uprooting.
