    My friend is Cambodian and his family escaped Cambodia, not everyone survived (he was not born yet). His Uncle wrote a book on his experience called Golden Leaf (what survivors are called). If you can, please find the book and buy it and read it. So well worth it as it is beautifully written as it touches your heart.

      @@HVAC356 At that point, the Khmer Rouge could hardly be considered peasants. Not even the cadres. They were enforcers of a highly organized totalitarian regime in much the same way North Korean soldiers are today. They never engaged in much physical labor, they rarely starved, and they were treated relatively well.
      The true peasants were their subjects, basically the rest of the population.

      Well. I'm not smart enough to think ahead the way that guy did, so I'd probably be the one who was betrayed.

    The kid had every right to be mad, but it would have been wiser if he kept his mouth shut. He put everyone at risk doing that leaving his teacher no choice but to kill her. I know this isn't what the film is trying to portray and it's intent is to bring awareness of the atrocities that happened. But if I were in that doctors position, I would have lied and said that she died before they can save her. Whether or not they believed it, either way they were probably dead anyways. But at least the tyrants would never have the satisfaction of getting the official truth, and it'll torment them the rest of their lives.

    I'm a Vietnamese. And I'm proud of what my country did in Cambodia. Chinese sent arms to Pol Pot. US sent uniforms, dollars and intels for Pol Pot. British sent SAS to Thailand to train Pol Pot 's soldier. And what did Vietnam send to Pol Pot? destruction and death of a brutal regime, which was supported by some of the most terrible gorvernments in the world. But anyone thanks for that? No. Omg, what a world, when some countries that supported a tyrant, spend all day to talk about "freedom and democracy", and some other countries, which sacrificed twenty thousands soldiers ( and thousands of civilians that killed by Pot in the border) to save their neighbor, has nothing. Completely, nothing.
