One of the most revered filmmakers of all time, Rithy Panh's career has been marked by innovative approaches to making films about the unfilmable, particularly the impact of life under the Khmer Rouge. The Missing Picture exemplifies his work as it explores Rithy Panh's quest for a photograph taken between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge when they ruled over Cambodia. Utilizing clay figures, archival footage, and his narration, Panh relays the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge in an effort to uncover the truth.
