    I watched this episode this morning while eating my breakfast and getting ready for my day. I've shed a tear or two watching your videos before but this was different. Like Brother No1, this was tough to watch. Tears rolled down my cheeks and into my cereal bowl.
    Rob, Rachel and the boys, thank you for sharing this with us. Clearly your best video to date.
    Now I'll get back to finishing my (slightly salty) cereal

    I cried buckets. Watched twice, cried the second time too. I’m used to Rachel’s tears, have cried a few tears with Rob on occasion, but when Declan’s tears were dripping to the ground during that Tuk Tuk ride and ever the comedian Ivan was breaking down, I lost it. This was hard to watch, but part of your family’s story. Love you guys and miss you! Hope our paths will cross again in the future. Great editing Rachel ❤️❤️

    Seeing the little 1yr old victim pic near the killing tree is what got me to really let loose return the tears! My heart goes out to all the victims and to your family for all the heartbreak you have experienced in your family. Amazing job at showing and telling the story. You had a amazingly brave brother and strong willed to have kept some humor in such torturous time. This video needs to be seen by all.

    I visited Tuol Sleng prison and the killing fields yesterday. While in the prison I came across the photo of Kerry and listened to a part of your testimony. It moved me to tears. When I got back to my hotel I looked Kerry up to learn more of his story and in the process found your channel. The way you are sharing your family's and so many others stories is incredible. I'm so sorry for all of the loss you have experienced and wish all of you the best for the future ❤

    We love watching your videos because they entertain us and often provide a laugh or three. The subject of this episode was far from entertainment and certainly not for laughs. Instead this is your greatest and most important episode ever. The raw emotion of all the family members was sensitively captured and portrayed beautifully with some very skilful editing. Thank you.

    thank you, was very moving... I started watching The Cruising Kiwi's a few years ago after I watched Brother No 1. I visited Tuol Sleng back in 1998. There were hardly any tourists then. I was walking around Pnom Pen one morning and recognized Tuol Sleng from pictures. Nobody there. I remember walking around on my own. Later I went to the killing fields. Again nobody there. There were 2 small kids playing with a cow. That night I went to a restaurant. There were tables around a pool. The pool was full with crocodiles!

    Oh man. What a watch that was. 😢😢 Such a sad time of history in this world and what fellow man can do to each other. Thanks for sharing your part of this story with the world. This deserves a prime time spot on tv, and more subscribers to your channel.
    Looks like it really hit home to all your boys at the end there. I’m sure they will never forget this Cambodia experience, both the good and bad parts. No schooling can set you up for how they are living at present. Not many would give a bundle of cash to a complete stranger like that. But the tour must of had a real effect on Finn for him to generously do that of free well. Seeing Declan and Ivan so upset goes to show that it really did get to them as well. You as parents are a credit to your three boys.
    To Rob and Rachel I’m sure sharing this experience may some how help in the healing process even if it is many years later. I know the pain will never fully go away and I am sure all who have viewed this appreciate that fact. I’m glad that as a family you were able to share this experience together and share all your thoughts and feelings with each other. Top effort by you all and glad you got the copy-write issues sorted.

      Thank you for your lovely comment. We were so impressed with how the boys handled themselves in Cambodia. One of the reasons we had held back from bringing them here until now was to allow them the maturity to process the experience. Kerry's plight is of course a story they grew up with but to visit Tuol Sleng prison and the horrors of the killing fields is sobering to say the least.
      The boys were incredibly touched to meet Sam Rithy and hear first hand from a survivor.

    Hi all...what a fascinating journey this is! After you mentioned that your brother used the name Michael Lebowitz as a reference within his forced confessions, I searched the name and came up with something kind of interesting. Michael Lebowitz was an American/Canadian professor who embraced Marxism and Communism. He was gaining prominence in North America at that time. He wrote many papers and books on the benefits of Marxist/socialist economics. He was teaching at Simon Frazier University in British Columbia in the late 70's when Kerry was in Cambodia, where he specialized in teaching Economic Marxism Also of note, in the early 60's, Lebowtz was invited to co-chair the economics workshop for the 1962 Port Huron meeting of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which produced the famous Port Huron Statement of SDS. This group espoused Socialist/Marxist industrialist ideologies that they promoted to spread though the United States and Canada. As a matter of fact, Tom Hayden , who was one of the founding members of the Port Huron/SDS group. Hayden was best known for his role as an anti-war, civil rights, and intellectual activist in the 1960s, authoring the Port Huron Statement and he eventually ended up standing trial in the Chicago Seven case (look this up...very interesting). Even more intriguing however was that he had married actress Jane Fonda. With her support, he ran for political office and was eventually elected to the California Senate. He then ran for Governor of California but lost. Additionally, during the 1960s, Fonda was well known here in the States for engaging in political activism in opposition to the Vietnam War. Fonda's visits to France brought her into contact with leftist French intellectuals who were opposed to war, an experience that she later characterized as "small-c communism". In the shadows, both she and Hayden staunch Socialist/Marxists. Since the Khmer Rouge were Communists, they may have known who Jane Fonda was.
    That all said, and this may be a far stretch, but perhaps Kerry was somehow familiar with Lebowitz's ideology, though his own past reading history and used his name in an attempt to persuade, or to "send a signal" to the Khmer Rogue that he was "favorable to Marxist ideologies" as a ploy to possibly save himself. I don't mean to imply that Kerry was Communist, but many people of his age would have been familiar with the conflicts in SE Asia at that time. If Kerry was aware of these conflicts, and had at some point read some of Lebowitz's writings, maybe he thought that by using his name, the Khmer Rouge might research who Lebowitz was for themselves and perhaps conclude that Kerry shared similar political beliefs that they did. Even if Kerry wasn't Communist, as the old saying goes, "when in Rome, do as a Roman does", especially if it's a matter of total survival. In this case, perhaps his attempt failed to get the desired outcome. Just a thought, for what it's worth. Anyway, as always, I enjoy your adventures and always look forward to sailing along with your voyage! God's prayers and safety always,
    PS, I reference much of this from Lewbowitz's website and Wikipedia if you'd like to delve further.

    Thank you for sharing this story with us. As difficult as it obviously was for you to relive this horrific story, it is important for the world to never forget and to ensure that evil never again rises up. It was difficult to watch this but just imagining the horrors that all those that were tortured and murdered endured is unimaginable. You guys do a great job in telling the history of many places that you visit, but this story is so very special and must have been very difficult for you to relive.
    As a wise man once said a long time ago “All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing”
    Let’s hope that the good people are vigilant and step up to ensure that evil never again succeeds.

This video is award winning documentary material itself. So VERY WELL DONE. It also makes me think of how this same thing could so very easily happen again tomorrow, given the state of the world right now. EVERYONE needs to see and understand this story. Thank you for what appears to be a tremendous effort in making this fantastic video, and for sharing it with the world. Much love and gratitude. ~Karla

    Some regimes are lead by people so filled with evil that it feels impossible to comprehend why. I've felt such a depth of sorrow for you and your family having to experience what you all have because of such incomprehensible evil. What they did to your brother and to so many of their own people, to innocent children, defies understanding. How all people, equipped with two hands, and two feet, are able to be good, and yet, also so depraved, is unfathomable. How I wish we could all learn from history, and thank you for sharing yours; and yet, the older I get, the more I see it just being repeated as one needless war follows another. God bless you and your family for finding the courage to do this and the love to share these stories.

They’ve shown such deep compassion and love in the face of this unimaginable horror.

    Gosh…this was heart wrenching. We are lost for words. We can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this journey would have been for you and the trauma that Cambodia has felt from these awful and senseless acts of violence. It was difficult to watch, and even though we did hit it, hitting the like button didn’t seem right. We need a heart or some other button on YT to show our empathy for you and Cambodia. Sending aroha to you as a family and to those other victims of this tragedy. As heartbreaking as it was to watch, thank you for sharing this journey with us.

    Hi Rob, It’s a marvellous documentary, that is the documentary your filming now. It’s not just simply a Vlog. I would also like you to pass on to Finn, Declan and Ivan that the best film makers (Cinematographers) all started out filming documentaries just like this one.
    I have also read Victor Frankl’s book “man’s search for meaning” and it’s a wonderful quote by Rob “as a survivor of the Holocaust wrote (that you you know forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except for one thing the freedom to choose how you respond to that situation) and it’s quite apparent Kerry responded with the most incredible courage and strength.” 😊Thanks

    Thank You so much for sharing this story and expressing all of the emotion and showing us what happened. Brother Number One is in my Que. I can't imagine how Rob felt going there. I imagine these two are the videos Renee offered to share with me a few months ago and now I know why. Couple of other things, wish I had been watching live when Declan lost $400 so I could have replaced it, actually 3 things, second, I LOVE how you all say "we", "us" and are always inclusive with your accomplishments, decisions and the sharing of everything. Third, hope you saw my last comment about the name of your channel. Seems having the word "sailing" in the name helps with views and shares, just a thought. Besides, Sailing Zatara is so wrong, they are engine cruising and you all are sailing! :P Anyway, thank you all so much for sharing so much with us; Means a lot and is sincerely moving to experience, so, Thank You.

      Thanks for the lovely message. 😍 a difficult story to tell.
      hah yeah Z crew motor more often than not. Consequently, we had trouble keeping up with them on passage. Hope you got our reply re name. FWIW Declan never had the $ replaced. A good learning opportunity for him.

    Thank you Rob for letting us share this experience with you. I still remember watching earlier episodes when you talked about your brother's journey and then the tragic deaths of both your brother's. This episode showed the horror of the Killing fields, oh my gosh that tree😢
    I visited Dachau when I was 18 and then again 6 years ago when I took my wife and two younger children. Truly horrific place, but acts as a reminder to us all, the horror that humans can inflict on humans.
    Thank you for letting us experience your sorrow and heartache of visiting Cambodia with your boys and Rachel. Very moving rickshaw ride back for you all.
    Again such great storytelling and editing
    And lovely to see the positive bit too with the children charity

    Having visited Tuol Sleng Prison and the killing fields in 2006 with my husband, I thought I was prepared with watch this and “go there” again - but I still cried and grieved for the senseless loss of life, just like I did when we visited. Maybe even more so this time, as it felt more personal. What extraordinary courage (and humor) Kerry showed in his confession. And so touching to see your sons all so deeply moved by the visit. Thank you for sharing this with us all. -Alissa.

      Thank you Alissa. Your visit to Tuol Sleng would have pre-dated the audio tour and Kerry's photo being there. It's not a easy place to walk through.
