When you hear the word genocide what are some words that come to your mind? Rwanda? The Holocaust? Darfur, Sudan? Evil? Why those words? Why not Somalia? East Timor? Cambodia?
The media shapes every aspect of our society- but when it comes to genocide is its interference more harmful that helpful?

Reflecting on the Cambodian genocide we can see that is has become the unspoken genocide...largely overshadowed by the Vietnam War with little to no media coverage. Meaning that millions of peoples suffering went unheard, have gone unheard- and for many this means that justice will never be found.
