In the summer of 2018, I stayed in Cambodia for two months, documenting the oral histories of the Khmer Rouge genocide.
These are photos of the trip to Kraing Ta Chan village, a former killing site in Takeo province. The majority of the villagers are elders who were lucky enough to survive. Screams and blood once saturated the soil, where hundreds of thousands are now buried underneath. Now the land is left for rice and mango trees to grow.

Skulls of the victims filled the shrine at the center of the village.
Villagers sit at the community center, waiting for the monthly meeting on rebuilding the memorial site to start.
The stone marked the exact location of the prison and killing site.
Villagers stand in front of murals that document the brutality that once happened here.
