CAMP 32: Hom Chhorn has a young family and a comfortable life in the outskirts of Melbourne, yet is devastated by childhood memories of atrocities, one of the worst atrocities in human history. At the age of six, he was imprisoned at a remote site in rural Cambodia. There are no records of the labour camp where Hom witnessed a daily succession of cruelty, hunger, disease and cold-blooded executions. After 33 years, Hom returns to his former homeland to shed light on Camp 32. Hom crosses the country in search of survivors and leads. Frustrated and no longer close to finding Camp 32, he flags down a taxi to take him to the memorial of his father and brother. What happens next will change Hom's life forever.
