From the Academy Award®-winning director Alex
Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side), Client 9 takes an in-depth
look at the rapid rise and dramatic fall of New York
Governor Eliot Spitzer. Nicknamed “the Sheriff of Wall
Street” when he was New York’s attorney general, Eliot
Spitzer prosecuted crimes by America’s largest financial
institutions and some of the most powerful executives
in the country. After his election as governor with the
largest margin in the state’s history, many believed
Spitzer was on his way to becoming the nation’s first
Jewish president. Then, suddenly, shockingly, Spitzer’s
One of the most harrowing and compelling personal
documentaries of our time, Enemies of the People exposes
for the first time the truth about the Killing Fields
and the Khmer Rouge who were behind Cambodia’s
genocide. More than simply an inquiry into Cambodia’s
experience, however, Enemies of the People is a profound

and for others to forgive them. Winner of a dozen top
documentary festival awards, including a Special Jury
Prize at Sundance and the Grand Jury Award at the Full
Frame Documentary Festival, this is a riveting film that

meteoric rise turned into a precipitous fall when the New York Times
revealed that Spitzer—the paragon of rectitude—had been caught
seeing prostitutes. As his powerful enemies gloated, his supporters
questioned the timing of it all: as the sheriff fell, so did the financial
markets, in a cataclysm that threatened to unravel the global economy.
With unique access to friends, acquaintances, and enemies of the exgovernor
(many of whom have come forward for the first time), this film
explores the hidden contours of this tale of hubris, sex, and power.

It is also a personal journey into the heart of darkness by journalist/
filmmaker Thet Sambath, whose family was wiped out in the Killing
Fields, but whose patience and discipline elicits unprecedented oncamera
confessions from perpetrators at all levels of the Khmer Rouge
hierarchy. This is investigative journalism of the highest order.
