RED KHMER LEGACY
Ba Chúc, Vietnam, 2014 - Leica M7, Summilux 35, Kodak Tri-X * Ordered skulls and bones are the gruesome legacy of the Khmer Rouge. Vietnam could have overthrown The Red Khmer in 1978 and invaded Cambodia for a decade (1979-1989) for humanitarian reasons but also for putting in a pro-Vietnamese government. Few people talk about this forgotten war full of disillusionment. As a Vietnamese war veteran told: "American soldiers thought they helped Vietnam. Then their illusion was broken... We were the same in Cambodia". "All I want is to forget everything and live in peace" could murmur any traumatized survivor on any side.
