The Children of Year Zero: Their childhoods were stolen. Their spirits remained unbroken.

 

The Children of Year Zero

The Khmer Rouge seize Cambodia, and Year Zero dawns – an era that will steal the childhoods of millions. Among them are medical student Sarin, ripped from his family, and his bright young sister Veasna, thrust into the brutal machinery of Angkar’s new order. Driven by a desperate vow, Sarin fights to survive and find Veasna, while she, an orphaned child in a land ruled by terror, clings to memory and art to endure unimaginable horrors.

Anya, a young Cham woman, witnesses her ancient culture targeted for annihilation. From the ashes of her village, her defiance ignites. Meanwhile, Mithona, a peasant youth lured by revolutionary ideals, spirals into a nightmare of complicity as he becomes an instrument of the very terror that defines Year Zero.

"The Children of Year Zero" is an epic historical drama spanning the killing fields, desperate escapes, refugee camps, and the long shadow of justice. It is a story of innocence lost, unbreakable bonds, and the enduring power of the human spirit to find light even when a generation is sacrificed to darkness.
