Year Zero: Story of A Khmer Rouge Soldier is a film about the power of the individual to create change in society. We follow the story of a former child soldier, Aki Ra, who, as a very young child of 6 was drafted into the Khmer Rouge and planted hundreds of landmines for them. We learn how these difficult experiences affected him and how he has devoted his life to changing his country's circumstance ever since. Starting from humble beginnings and now as an international symbol of one mans purpose to eradicate landmines, Aki-Ra's Cambodian Land Mine museum has changed the lives of tens of thousands of people who visit each year.
This is his story.
