The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million people in the late 1970s. Yet the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Until now. Enter Thet Sambath, an unassuming, yet cunning, investigative journalist who spends a decade of his life gaining the trust of the men and women who perpetrated the massacres. From the foot soldiers who slit throats to Pol Pot's right-hand man, the notorious Brother Number Two, Sambath records shocking testimony never before seen or heard. Having neglected his own family for years, Sambath's work comes at a price. But his is a personal mission. He lost his parents and his siblings in the Killing Fields. Amidst his journey to discover why his family died, we come to understand for the first time the real story of Cambodia's tragedy.

I pose these questions: Have we taken photography to the fast food level? What do we need to do to bring photography back to art of capturing the moment? Has the access to point and shoot cameras diminished the art?

Tim Wise reminds us that there is an unwritten set of rules we live by. They may not be right, they may not be fair and probably should be done away with. Please share your response to the following question.
  1. Have you observed or experienced white privilege?
  2. What do you think should be done about the system of white privilege in America?
