First They Killed My Father quotes

  • Propoganda Announcer: It's better to make a mistake and kill an innocent person than to leave an enemy alive.

  • Loung Ung: What happens when people die?

    Older Girl: At first they think they're sleeping peacefully, not knowing they are dead. They sleep for three days. And then on the third day, they wake up. That's when they realize they are dead. They walk to a river, wash the dirt from their bodies, and start their journey to heaven to reincarnate.

    Loung Ung: Where do they go?

    Older Girl: I don't know.

    Loung Ung: I hope Keav won't have to come back here.
