Roland Neveu

Contact sheet of black and white photographs taken by Roland Neveu in Phnom Penh on April 17, 1975, as Khmer Rouge forces enter the city. The two circled frames show: 1) Inside the French Embassy, a high-ranking French diplomat in shorts speaks with foreign residents at the gate after Khmer Rouge ordered foreigners to seek shelter there. 2) On the boulevard across from the embassy, people — likely staff from the nearby Calmette hospital — pull a cart loaded with patients to evacuate the city as ordered by Khmer Rouge.
