Great documentary. I'm too scared to ask my mum the whole story as u can never heal from this! She lived in one of the worst hit town with the regime, of like 100000 people only like 1000 survived! She had like 15 sibling, they died during the regime and her parents were taken away and murdered. I am so lucky to be born in Australia

THis is the first time hear and see the true sinece 1975 - Sunday 4-11 - 2012 He was 29years, However, he rest in heaven now ,but I alway miss him forever.See you in heaven my dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "ex" Khmer Rouge does NOT sound particularly rependent to me though I doubt the Khmer Rouge could repent enough to cleanse their souls (which they didn't have to begin with)
Tomorrow is the sad anniversary of the Khmer Rouge coming to power (April 17) everyone - say a prayer this never happens again. And say a prayer for those we lost.
My family is a survivor of this BS. Luckily, America took us in. However, we came to a country that we know nothing off. The culture, language, what do we have to do to survive? They dropped us off in the middle of the hood in Stockton, CA. We were robbed, beaten, etc. Life was very hard. I joined a gang to survive, I became a gangster not by choice but to survive. We stole from the stores, we didn't steal stuff to resale but food. I don't even wanna talk about it anymore. This shit was all round messed up. Genocide!!!
Shit bruh I grew up in Oakland with a lot of Cambodians y’all niggas been with the shit I never knew all that y’all have been there I knew a lot of my homies growing up were first year generation outta this shit but I never knew until I got older how bad this shit was
You must be lucky that you survived the barbarism of Pol Pot and don't want to speak about it anymore, but memories always brings there. I felt what you feel. May God bless you always. From the PHil.
Love to Cambodia from Greece. My Grandpa was tortured to death by the British soldiers who invaded our homes and land in Cyprus in the 1950s. My grandmother survived but she had to run to escape rape and torture and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. And my family still can't find our Uncle and Aunty?! Taken as children by the British and Turkish soldiers. I know that some Americans and British and Turkey people had nothing to do with the war in Cyprus Greece, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards them. And I'm not here to offend any one, or promote hatred. I just want the world to know and understand the truth about what the UK and US and Turkey has done in Greece. To day the British soldiers wear peacekeeping uniforms to conceal their war crimes in Cyprus Greece. Imagine visiting family home and having British terrorists and British war criminals in peacekeeping uniforms telling you that you can't be here. Start a new life with nothing. We are now forced refugees scattered across the globe. I couldn't even have Easter with my family. Soon most of my family will be dead and I don't even have family photo's. Because NATO, British and the Turkish stole our belongings our homes.

@@normanchamings8156 Why don't you go tell that to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that you ghastly British repressed and terrorized. I don't need any Brit to lecture me. This is our story not the British story ..
This story is very confusing. British soldiers did not invade Greece in the 1950's, nor did Turkish soldiers. British soldiers were based in Cyprus which was a British protectorate until 1960. There were EOKA communist terrorists attacking British troops, the Cypriot Police and killing British citizens in Cyprus. But Greece was ruled by a military government after the civil war in the 1940's. There were British troops in Greece after the war with the Germans but they weren't invaders, they were engineers digging toilets. In 1974 Turkish forces invaded and UN Peace Keeping forces from all over the world went to Cyprus. Famously Canadian troops stopped the fighting at the Ledra Palace hotel in Nicosia. None of your story has the ring of truth to it.
Thet Sambath who is the journalist conducting the interviews did a documentary called Enemies of the People that is him sitting down with the older gent at the end of this and interviewing him after developing a 5 yr relationship with him in an attempt to get the most honest answers without revealing his personal past involving the Khmer Rouge. Great doc to watch since that guy is the real Brother Number Two
Thank you for sharing. I'm so sad this happened. And that Army General is/was well aware of the situation. and had the nerve to laugh... god will handle him...
There are indicators of impending genocide, seven to be exact. Sadly until these crimes are put in our face, then we may avoid such tragic actions against the innocent.
In different videos, I remembered that this Nuon Chea guy was sentenced to life imprisonment. But, apparently, he was still free in a 2006 interview in this video.
The guy in the end is lying, you can tell because of the way he rapidly closes an opens his eyes when answering about his knowledge of the killings. Furthermore, he had given a contradictory statement one year before. He is just trying to save his neck for possible retaliation from the victims' relatives or even an eventual trial, which is happening right now.
Grandpa knows a lot more about tying people up than seems normal. Seems, like a lot of older country folks in Cambodia, he was more involved than he is letting on.
Notice how there were no comments about this during the video - Thet has allowed us to form our own opinions based on the testimony of those who spoke openly. I do think that if any of those people had refused to do what they were told, or had questioned orders, they would have joined the dead bodies, so we are not in a position to judge them really.
People living provinces tend to the fields, take care of cows, oxen's, chickens, etc often. Most men know how to tie a sturdy knot, climb trees, hunt, gather water etc.
That's absolute nonsense! When a person dies that's it. They do not even realise they are dead as they no longer exist! You want to feel better? Fine! Go hunt down those who killed people you once knew & make them cease to exist!

Please tell me more these part the story is my husband place that known Polpot killed him.I want to know more .i realy want to know that is the truth story about my husband please give me phon number .....thankyou
I’m a child of a genocide survivors . My brother in law was an educated man professor in Phnom phen til this days hes parent and siblings were all educated people . One days , Pol Pot invite their families as only for a general meeting since then that was the last smile that he’s remember of he’s families until this days he never knew or where they were killed or not even seen their bones . My father was lucky enough to escape from the perpetrators they were looking for my parent but somehow we manage to flees in the middle of the night. Whenever I saw these moments I feel deep through my bones like it still yesterday .
I'm an old white lady in California, sitting here crying over your story. Very glad your Daddy escaped, and very glad you're OK. I wish you and your family every blessing. 💘
Why the interviewer never asks why they were killed and who gave the order?? Why the one soldier had fear to try to ask to save his unlce and his daughter? How were the circumstances? Nothing has been made clear.
Did you not watch attentively? The man made it clear that had his relationship to his uncle become known, he would have been implicated and would have died along-side his uncle and cousin. Guilt by association was a real thing, little children were killed for no other reason than who their parents were. Look at the pictures of the victims of Tuol Sleng, there are many young kids. They were innocent but they were murdered because of who they were related to.
This is a very shortened version, the full video shows this absolute Hero & how he ended up getting him to admit it & getting the army to land in helicopters & take all of them into custody.
Som akun Thet Sambath for exposing these crimes to the world by making these videos. Justice may have to come in the after-life for the Khmer Rouge (or whatever they are calling themselves now). The world has much shame for refusing to help the Cambodian people.
Journeyman Pictures are a good show and document. Po Srey still alive in 2012. Just 8 years ago. He went unpunished. He lives 22 years more after Khmer Rough collapsed in 1979. Most fomer KherRough soldiers went unpunished. Even in 2020 they are still around. I know Pol Pot died in 1998 at the age of 73-75. Noun Chea and Ta Mok are also the worse murderers. 12,723 victims died at Kook Toul Sleng. Only about 21 of them survived after 1979. Pol Pot and Khmer Rough committed the genocide in Cambodian history. in 2020 Cambodia is stable and more peaceful. Economy is growing at about 9-10% annually. Peace to my fellow countrymen. Khmer Rough uniforms are black shirts, black pants and black or grey caps. They wore shoes made out of car tires. Their favorite weapons are AK-47. Chinese supported Khmer Rough. They even fought Vietnamese in 1979.
I like to think that the smiling and laughing is an East Asian thing when people are nervous when talking about a tough subject. But there's always that thing in the back of my mind that's considering whether they're really laughing and smiling about the atrocities that they've probably taken part in.
J'ai vécu cette période, je les ai vues et entendues cette événement tragique. Merci de votre courage de faire la recherche pour trouver la vérité de cette drame..Que ses esprits soient en paix....
I find it hard that although this man ' a witness of these dead bodies' had enough time to notice how the dead where tied up, seemingly ran away after noticing the dead men possibly women, was he covering his own tracks by revealing his implications in the atrocities. Just saying.
Theres an almost certain chance that if you witness something like that you freeze for a good amount of time in shock taking things in. Dont be so quick to accuse
In video “The last interview with Pol Pot (English Subtitles )”, missalaneous11 says (about Pol Pot) "Classic Narcissist" - I reply # Wish you could read my Vietnamese comment; I too believe Pol Pot was struck with Narcissism (hope I understand the meaning of “Narcissism” correctly!). I also mention that China’s Expansionist Rulers like Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing knew this and made full use of it. They thus praised Pol Pot and extolled him to the sky, with flying phrases like “Comrade, your Cambodian Revolution is Top of the World!”, “Comrade, we Chinese Revolutionaries admire your Cambodian Revolution so much, and we must learn from it!”, etc. # Now, except among his closed circle of Khmer-Rouge top-cadres, Pol Pot was a nobody from a small, backward country that was Cambodia, with about 7 millions people (before the MaoZedong-DengXiaoPing-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-executing genocide) # On the other hand, the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing were notorious top-leaders of the most populous country in the world, that was China, with 1000 millions people. # Even US president Richard Nixon had to come seeking audience and help from them # Unknown Pol Pot from little Cambodia being praised to the sky by the notorious like Mao ZeDong and DengXiaoPing; this must have made Pol Pot feel he’s top of the world, invincible! # But of course, the praises to Pol Pot from the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing, and China’s Expansionist Rulers, were like those of the Fox to the Crow in “The Fox and the Crow” fable; or the prodding flattery for the Frog that wants to be as big as a Cow in “The Frog and the Cow” fable. # After the praises and extolments came the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique to “kill all enemies within”, gradually expanding to perpetrate the most heinous genocide of the Cambodian people. # That is the Internal Part. The aim is to wipe Cambodia clean of the Cambodian population, ready Cambodia for Deng XiaoPing’s Chinese advisers, troops and eventually settlers to flood in. # As for the External Part, the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique are to wage war on Vietnam, and perpetrate the most barbaric atrocities on the Vietnamese civilians. # According to China-Rulers’ calculations, in waging war against Vietnam, Pol Pot would eventually loose for sure, and Pol Pot’s troops severely depleted. # Once the China-Rulers-scheming-and-directing-PolPot-executing Cambodian genocide has been successful (for China’s Expansionist Rulers), and Pol Pot’s troops have been so severely depleted and Pol Pot was on the brink of defeat in the war with Vietnam, Pol Pot would surely called out to China’s Rulers for help to prop up his Khmer Rouge regime. # That was when China’s Rulers would flood the empty Cambodia with their advisers, troops, and eventually colonizers, and turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan), but without any Cambodians left. # That was China-Expansionist-Rulers’ vile scheming and calculations for Cambodia and Vietnam. ====================================== Dear Viewer - I’ll try to translate my comment below into English (and hopefully other languages as well, especially Khmer) later. But for now, it’s in Vietnamese. # Essentially, it’s the evil scheming and direction for the Pol-Pot clique by China’s Expansionist Rulers (notably Deng XiaoPing and Mao ZeDong) to wipe out the whole Cambodian people, so as to make Cambodia ready for Chinese advisers, troops and colonizers to flood in, and thus turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan) but without any Cambodian left. According to DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers’ calculations, this would happen once the DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-excecuting genocide had wiped Cambodia clean of the Cambodian people, and the ChinaRulers-instigating-PolPot-excecuting war with Vietnam had depleted Pol Pot’s troops to the point he’d have to call out publicly to China’s Rulers for sending troops (and advisers, workers, etc.) in for help to keep his regime alive. # Mong các Bạn thông cảm cho lời yêu cầu nầy nhé!

A smiling face is better than a haunted dreadful one. Not everyone can cry all the time. Even in the face of extreme calamity, some human natural defence mechanism is to smile and chuckle it off to avoid insanity.
How evil must you be when someone is describing how some "civilians" dressed up in military clothes were taken along with the real soldiers to be killed, and you actually LAUGH @23:55 and have to try hard to contain your amusement and pleasure of this fact??? That killing 1,000s of INNOCENT people, AND WOMEN, was somehow FUNNY? Sick af, literally. These people have mental issues, likely involving being psychopathy, including traits of lacking remorse, guilt or empathy, and manipulative, dishonest narcissism. All those involved in these massacre had to have these traits at some level. It's not a funny conversation. Those aren't the appropriate emotions to have when discussing this, but they cannot help themselves--they literally amused by the events. SCARY AF.
I remember watching tv documentaries about horrific accidents and nurses, doctors etc often laughed and joked as they dealt with mangled people - it seems that it helps them to cope with the horrors and trauma, so maybe the same thing applies here i.e. that some of those involved have to laugh or smile about it now, or be tormented by demons for 40 or more years. I am not taking any sides here, as it is not my country and I am not fully aware of the politics back then, which I feel is essential before judging the ordinary people who were caught up in it. I just watched it on tv and waited for the cartoons or something, unable to grasp it in those days before the internet has allowed us to see different versions of the same truth, and realise how crazy it all must have been.
He's a villager that knows how to tie knots. He saw people with rope around their wrists. Is it such a surprise that someone who ties rope around wood and whatever else could know how to tie rope around wrists without being complicit in a genocide? A bit assumptuous
This type of system is being jammed into the minds of American children in a subtle way. It is only a mattered time before something as horrific happens here in America. This documentary should be shown in schools, not the constant hatred of our country and it’s history.
The fact that all those Khmer Rouge leader claimed they didn’t know why were people executed and who’s the commander behind the action was unsettling knowing the regime was originally created by the VietCong yet Pol Pot the new leader hate Vietnam
I look at my parents and my entire family that lived through this horrific part of our history with absolute amazement. When my mother and father talk about what they went through I can still hear the sadness in their voices. To do this to your own people....your own countryman is just unfathomable to me. My parents and my family....We are just one, of many more Cambodians that have their own story to tell. Edit: I don't understand how these people can sit there and speak so coldly about their role in the deaths of so many innocent people.... Especially the one who allowed his Uncle and his younger cousin to be killed. My mom often says if my Uncle...My dad's younger brother who was living with them in Phnom Penh, hadn't gone back to his home village he would still be alive today. Because he returned home people knew he had left to go to school so he was taken and like so many others he never came back.
Hi, Sammy. I recently retired from teaching high school in Oakland, CA. We have a large-ish Cambodian community here, and the parents of my Cambodian students were some of the saddest, most broken people I've ever met. My students were their "second children," because their first spouses and children had been killed years earlier. I so appreciate your care for your elders; few of my Cambodian students even knew their own country's history. Their parents didn't want to tell them, although some of the kids would arrive to school angry, confused, and trying NOT TO CRY (these kids had a hard shell!) because Mama had awakened in the night calling them "ghosts." 😢 BECAUSE my students had questions, I finally did a lesson on the genocide, and OMG, one boy stayed after class in tears. "Pol Pot was not evil. He was my father's friend. He tried to save our country!" etc. etc. etc. 😨 All I could think to say was, "I'm so glad that your family is safe now in Oakland." Anyway, bless you, Sammy, and I wish your family every good thing in the world.

I wondered how the Ex Khmer rouge soldiers and his family life now after being psychopath for so many years . Pretending they knew nothing about the killing .
There’s a sense of deep feelings that this man isn’t telling the truth. He’s the Khmer Rouge leader. It would be impossible for him not know. He must’ve give the soldiers order to kill those innocent people
Nixon and Kissinger murdered so many people in that many days of bombing. Why aren't they arrested for war crimes? Living life full of pension and riches. How the world works.
@godsfool713 thanks! I'll do that. I love the truth. There was a kevin annette story about the queen taking ten children from a residential school and no one ever saw them again.
THe interviewer should haved asked them. Also the man how went away when his uncle and his daughter were killed. Why did he have so much fear to save them. The interviewer should have made clear the situation.
The filmmaker's uncle is lying through his teeth. His chuckle at the people who weren't real soldiers who got on the trucks gives away his knowledge and true feeling. He is unrepentant. It's eerily similar to Nazi officials denying knowledge. He gives away the reason, revenge for brutal treatment of Khmer Rouge who were prisoners of the regime. It's clear only later he he came to the conclusion it went to far because the soldiers were just ordinary people. But he's trying to cover his rear, protect his reputation.
My grandpa and grandma survived but our whole family were lon nol soldiers I feel so much grief for them as none of them made it out of pochentong airforce base battambang phnom penh and elsewhere
So incredibly sad. This has nothing to do with political ideology what so ever. It seems the further time goes the more brutal we get. I shudder to think what may happen next.
This has everything to do with political ideology.it is a warning to us all never to listen to the arrogant fools that think that they alone have the way to utopia. Only through free speech and balanced social democratic process can we thrive.
It is extremely ideological. The ( maybe scary) thing about certain ideologies is that you cannot defeat an ideology. There are still Marxist types right now in our universities who worship Pol Pot and Mao Zedong. It's scary stuff! Ironically, at the same time as Pol Pot and KR, there was another nutter on another continent doing the same thing on a smaller scale ( Jim Jones and "Jonestown" ) I always think about Cambodia when I come across something about Jonestown. There is an ominous overlap.
I was drinking all the time in killing feal one day when I went to pick up a water at a wide big hold I was all full of human bones in my home town satuk satuk satuk
I'm so sorry about what happened to your nation. Pol Pot and the khmer rouge interest me but I in no way support them. I hope Cambodia can heal from this horrible event.
@@inging9264 Oh, Ok, Pol Pot was an evil man. He is that not that well known among the evil dictators of the world like Hilter and Statin. But I saw documentary about Pol Pot and he killed a lot of innocent people. He will a pay a heavy price in the next life.
I have a question that might be stupid but I am still confused as to why did they need to extract confessions from "traitors"? Like making it legal would actually achieve something. They could have simply killed them, it's not like the rest of the world would acknowledge this alleged treason and condone the torture and mass killings in the name of the Khmer Rouge. I'm guessing they thought the regime would last for a long long time and os they wanted to somehow rewrite history by making everyone eventually believe in their actions as heroic or something.
It seem like these men that are talking seem like they knew about what was going on are you sure they didn't kill all those people back in the Khmer Rouge. My boyfriend was born in Phoem Penh in 1975 and he seem like he don't want to talk about it.
All of them are the KR soldier, they live and know the area very well, Noun Chea and Pol pot is the master mind behind all of this issue, they know what they were doing.
I believed what Noun Chea said was a lie. He was trying to be innocent and hiding his crime during the Khmer Rouge regime as he was the second most powerful man in the communist party. The Khmer Rouge looked at the Lon Nol's soldiers as enemies even after the war ended, all of them were considered as enemies and had to be eliminated. Both the civilians and soldiers from the city or towns were enemies of the Angkar (Khmer Rouge Communist Party), thousands of Lon Nol's surrendered soldiers were executed on 17 April 1975 and days later only a few were left among the civilians. All the civilians from the city and towns called Liberated people, were sent to live in the rural area far from the city or town to be starved and killed by the Khmer Rouge local soldiers. Noun Chea and Pol Pot were the only ones who ordered these war crimes, Comrade Duch said during his trial in Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, that they wanted to make a perfect generation for Angkar that was loyal to Angkar and believed in their socialist ideology even though they had to kill half of the population during that time.
Love to Cambodia…😢❤️ especially the mothers who had their babies slaughtered right infront of them…from one mother to another. I sobbed when I learned of the baby trees….

@@inthemaze7441 As a second generation Cambodian American with my family being affected by this dark era and knowing my peoples history, in no way am I justifying these disgusting atrocities these evil people were doing but it was a do or die system. It just wasn’t your life on the line but your entire family. If you weren’t gonna do it all the people associated with you would just be shot in front of your eyes before it was your turn. Also a lot of the executioners they used were child soldiers because they were so easy to manipulate. It’s a complicated issue. These criminals will burn in hell.
I guess many of these 'victims' finally realized that the path of life they had chosen was the end of Revelation Road. Much like what happened to Polish Intelligentsia during WW2.
This is too painful to watch, talking nonchalantly about killing people as if it were chickens , all this happened during my life time in our own backyard and we couldn't do anything about it..
The muslim invasion of India in the 15th century slaughtered more than 80 to 100million hindus within a year . All this history is not widely known bro . Read . Killings were going on in everybody'd backyard throughout history . It starts from one's own education of the mind , then to the family , community , nation and the world . Organized Abrahamic religions and their political ideologies starts it . Religion becomes political , communism follows and mayhem happens . Humankind become hypocrites , totting religious values in disguise and we become unnatural . Real religion is LOVE . WE have forgotten it by coloring ourselves in different shades and preaching discord . PEACE Bro .

The "ex" Khmer Rouge does NOT sound particularly rependent to me though I doubt the Khmer Rouge could repent enough to cleanse their souls (which they didn't have to begin with)
@Frogsquatch yep they do
Cambodia is a buddhist society. For sure in this culture. The reckoning will come in the afterlife
This is the most chilling documentary of a mass killing I have ever seen.
Tomorrow is the sad anniversary of the Khmer Rouge coming to power (April 17) everyone - say a prayer this never happens again. And say a prayer for those we lost.
To add insult. Khmer New year is in the month of April.
There’s no depth to which humans won’t fall when given total power.
Well produced informative Video and best of all, very profesional production.No ridiculous music spoiling the narratives well done thank you.
The lack of humanity just absolutely astonishing
im half cambodian, and my mom mentioned something about the war, i didnt know much about it, i didnt expect it to be that bad
My family is a survivor of this BS. Luckily, America took us in. However, we came to a country that we know nothing off. The culture, language, what do we have to do to survive? They dropped us off in the middle of the hood in Stockton, CA. We were robbed, beaten, etc. Life was very hard. I joined a gang to survive, I became a gangster not by choice but to survive. We stole from the stores, we didn't steal stuff to resale but food. I don't even wanna talk about it anymore. This shit was all round messed up. Genocide!!!
Atleast you have opportunities to make a difference but you chose to join a gang. Millions didn't in cambodia
Shit bruh I grew up in Oakland with a lot of Cambodians y’all niggas been with the shit I never knew all that y’all have been there I knew a lot of my homies growing up were first year generation outta this shit but I never knew until I got older how bad this shit was
You must be lucky that you survived the barbarism of Pol Pot and don't want to speak about it anymore, but memories always brings there. I felt what you feel. May God bless you always. From the PHil.
@@csick11 You should be ashamed of yourself. Please delete this ignorant comment I beg of you.
@templematthews-martial1807 why is it ignorant? Was there not any opportunities when they arrive to America? Why join a gang?
Love to Cambodia from Greece. My Grandpa was tortured to death by the British soldiers who invaded our homes and land in Cyprus in the 1950s. My grandmother survived but she had to run to escape rape and torture and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. And my family still can't find our Uncle and Aunty?! Taken as children by the British and Turkish soldiers. I know that some Americans and British and Turkey people had nothing to do with the war in Cyprus Greece, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards them. And I'm not here to offend any one, or promote hatred. I just want the world to know and understand the truth about what the UK and US and Turkey has done in Greece. To day the British soldiers wear peacekeeping uniforms to conceal their war crimes in Cyprus Greece. Imagine visiting family home and having British terrorists and British war criminals in peacekeeping uniforms telling you that you can't be here. Start a new life with nothing. We are now forced refugees scattered across the globe. I couldn't even have Easter with my family. Soon most of my family will be dead and I don't even have family photo's. Because NATO, British and the Turkish stole our belongings our homes.
The story is thiers, not yours

@@normanchamings8156 Why don't you go tell that to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that you ghastly British repressed and terrorized.
I don't need any Brit to lecture me. This is our story not the British story ..
This story is very confusing. British soldiers did not invade Greece in the 1950's, nor did Turkish soldiers. British soldiers were based in Cyprus which was a British protectorate until 1960. There were EOKA communist terrorists attacking British troops, the Cypriot Police and killing British citizens in Cyprus. But Greece was ruled by a military government after the civil war in the 1940's. There were British troops in Greece after the war with the Germans but they weren't invaders, they were engineers digging toilets.
In 1974 Turkish forces invaded and UN Peace Keeping forces from all over the world went to Cyprus. Famously Canadian troops stopped the fighting at the Ledra Palace hotel in Nicosia.
None of your story has the ring of truth to it.
Thet Sambath who is the journalist conducting the interviews did a documentary called Enemies of the People that is him sitting down with the older gent at the end of this and interviewing him after developing a 5 yr relationship with him in an attempt to get the most honest answers without revealing his personal past involving the Khmer Rouge. Great doc to watch since that guy is the real Brother Number Two
I am the Naga
Thank you for sharing. I'm so sad this happened. And that Army General is/was well aware of the situation. and had the nerve to laugh... god will handle him...
@Karen Houser absolutely wrong. That is Noun Chea. He is 1 of the top 5 leaders in the Khmer Rouge regime. He is not an
ordinary human being.
@@PoliticalGangster yep 👍 you said that’s exactly right
There are indicators of impending genocide, seven to be exact. Sadly until these crimes are put in our face, then we may avoid such tragic actions against the innocent.
The fact that they are marxist- Leninist is a red flag for atrocities. Literally.
In different videos, I remembered that this Nuon Chea guy was sentenced to life imprisonment. But, apparently, he was still free in a 2006 interview in this video.
this would be a little less disturbing if these guys didn't tell the stories so nostalgically, and try to hide the smirks.
The guy in the end is lying, you can tell because of the way he rapidly closes an opens his eyes when answering about his knowledge of the killings. Furthermore, he had given a contradictory statement one year before. He is just trying to save his neck for possible retaliation from the victims' relatives or even an eventual trial, which is happening right now.
Grandpa knows a lot more about tying people up than seems normal. Seems, like a lot of older country folks in Cambodia, he was more involved than he is letting on.
Yeah and guy next to him smiling while talking about killing tied up people.... geez
Notice how there were no comments about this during the video - Thet has allowed us to form our own opinions based on the testimony of those who spoke openly.
I do think that if any of those people had refused to do what they were told, or had questioned orders, they would have joined the dead bodies, so we are not in a position to judge them really.
@@samolevski1119 Ofc not, they are commie scum....
Rural folk would know how to tie knots better than most. Best not to throw allegations like that about. Gets potentially innocent ppl killed.
People living provinces tend to the fields, take care of cows, oxen's, chickens, etc often. Most men know how to tie a sturdy knot, climb trees, hunt, gather water etc.
My husband spirit is in heaven now ,I known ,because I have dream about his all the times .We were so verry young on that time.
Thank you for the comment. Much respect to you and your family. Love to Cambodia and its people
That's absolute nonsense! When a person dies that's it. They do not even realise they are dead as they no longer exist!
You want to feel better? Fine! Go hunt down those who killed people you once knew & make them cease to exist!

Please tell me more these part the story is my husband place that known Polpot killed him.I want to know more .i realy want to know that is the truth story about my husband
please give me phon number .....thankyou
I’m a child of a genocide survivors . My brother in law was an educated man professor in Phnom phen til this days hes parent and siblings were all educated people . One days , Pol Pot invite their families as only for a general meeting since then that was the last smile that he’s remember of he’s families until this days he never knew or where they were killed or not even seen their bones . My father was lucky enough to escape from the perpetrators they were looking for my parent but somehow we manage to flees in the middle of the night. Whenever I saw these moments I feel deep through my bones like it still yesterday .
I'm an old white lady in California, sitting here crying over your story. Very glad your Daddy escaped, and very glad you're OK. I wish you and your family every blessing. 💘
Why the interviewer never asks why they were killed and who gave the order?? Why the one soldier had fear to try to ask to save his unlce and his daughter? How were the circumstances? Nothing has been made clear.
It’s a strict regime, you wouldn’t even ask those questions in risk of getting killed
Did you not watch attentively? The man made it clear that had his relationship to his uncle become known, he would have been implicated and would have died along-side his uncle and cousin. Guilt by association was a real thing, little children were killed for no other reason than who their parents were. Look at the pictures of the victims of Tuol Sleng, there are many young kids. They were innocent but they were murdered because of who they were related to.
This is a very shortened version, the full video shows this absolute Hero & how he ended up getting him to admit it & getting the army to land in helicopters & take all of them into custody.
Som akun Thet Sambath for exposing these crimes to the world by making these videos. Justice may have to come in the after-life for the Khmer Rouge (or whatever they are calling themselves now). The world has much shame for refusing to help the Cambodian people.
Journeyman Pictures are a good show and document. Po Srey still alive in 2012. Just 8 years ago. He went unpunished. He lives 22 years more after Khmer Rough collapsed in 1979. Most fomer KherRough soldiers went unpunished. Even in 2020 they are still around. I know Pol Pot died in 1998 at the age of 73-75. Noun Chea and Ta Mok are also the worse murderers. 12,723 victims died at Kook Toul Sleng. Only about 21 of them survived after 1979. Pol Pot and Khmer Rough committed the genocide in Cambodian history. in 2020 Cambodia is stable and more peaceful. Economy is growing at about 9-10% annually. Peace to my fellow countrymen. Khmer Rough uniforms are black shirts, black pants and black or grey caps. They wore shoes made out of car tires. Their favorite weapons are AK-47. Chinese supported Khmer Rough. They even fought Vietnamese in 1979.
That’s wonderful bro! I am glad Cambodia is growing so fast and things are improving! 🙏
I like to think that the smiling and laughing is an East Asian thing when people are nervous when talking about a tough subject.
But there's always that thing in the back of my mind that's considering whether they're really laughing and smiling about the atrocities that they've probably taken part in.
The contrast is mind-boggling. A land so beautiful, a paradise on earth, to become a hell unrivaled in evil...
J'ai vécu cette période, je les ai vues et entendues cette événement tragique. Merci de votre courage de faire la recherche pour trouver la vérité de cette drame..Que ses esprits soient en paix....
I find it hard that although this man ' a witness of these dead bodies' had enough time to notice how the dead where tied up, seemingly ran away after noticing the dead men possibly women, was he covering his own tracks by revealing his implications in the atrocities. Just saying.
And it's how they said it was close to 10000 bodies but he only saw 20.
Theres an almost certain chance that if you witness something like that you freeze for a good amount of time in shock taking things in. Dont be so quick to accuse
Thank you for this. No words.
Thank you ..You Tube ...for the video .
I just got back from Cambodia, such a sad place......still developing but those 4 years set them back 50 years...
It makes me fucking sick to watch Nuon Chea sit there and say he had no idea what was happening.
In video “The last interview with Pol Pot (English Subtitles )”, missalaneous11 says (about Pol Pot) "Classic Narcissist" - I reply
# Wish you could read my Vietnamese comment; I too believe Pol Pot was struck with Narcissism (hope I understand the meaning of “Narcissism” correctly!). I also mention that China’s Expansionist Rulers like Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing knew this and made full use of it. They thus praised Pol Pot and extolled him to the sky, with flying phrases like “Comrade, your Cambodian Revolution is Top of the World!”, “Comrade, we Chinese Revolutionaries admire your Cambodian Revolution so much, and we must learn from it!”, etc.
# Now, except among his closed circle of Khmer-Rouge top-cadres, Pol Pot was a nobody from a small, backward country that was Cambodia, with about 7 millions people (before the MaoZedong-DengXiaoPing-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-executing genocide)
# On the other hand, the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing were notorious top-leaders of the most populous country in the world, that was China, with 1000 millions people.
# Even US president Richard Nixon had to come seeking audience and help from them
# Unknown Pol Pot from little Cambodia being praised to the sky by the notorious like Mao ZeDong and DengXiaoPing; this must have made Pol Pot feel he’s top of the world, invincible!
# But of course, the praises to Pol Pot from the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing, and China’s Expansionist Rulers, were like those of the Fox to the Crow in “The Fox and the Crow” fable; or the prodding flattery for the Frog that wants to be as big as a Cow in “The Frog and the Cow” fable.
# After the praises and extolments came the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique to “kill all enemies within”, gradually expanding to perpetrate the most heinous genocide of the Cambodian people.
# That is the Internal Part. The aim is to wipe Cambodia clean of the Cambodian population, ready Cambodia for Deng XiaoPing’s Chinese advisers, troops and eventually settlers to flood in.
# As for the External Part, the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique are to wage war on Vietnam, and perpetrate the most barbaric atrocities on the Vietnamese civilians.
# According to China-Rulers’ calculations, in waging war against Vietnam, Pol Pot would eventually loose for sure, and Pol Pot’s troops severely depleted.
# Once the China-Rulers-scheming-and-directing-PolPot-executing Cambodian genocide has been successful (for China’s Expansionist Rulers), and Pol Pot’s troops have been so severely depleted and Pol Pot was on the brink of defeat in the war with Vietnam, Pol Pot would surely called out to China’s Rulers for help to prop up his Khmer Rouge regime.
# That was when China’s Rulers would flood the empty Cambodia with their advisers, troops, and eventually colonizers, and turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan), but without any Cambodians left.
# That was China-Expansionist-Rulers’ vile scheming and calculations for Cambodia and Vietnam.
======================================
Dear Viewer - I’ll try to translate my comment below into English (and hopefully other languages as well, especially Khmer) later. But for now, it’s in Vietnamese.
# Essentially, it’s the evil scheming and direction for the Pol-Pot clique by China’s Expansionist Rulers (notably Deng XiaoPing and Mao ZeDong) to wipe out the whole Cambodian people, so as to make Cambodia ready for Chinese advisers, troops and colonizers to flood in, and thus turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan) but without any Cambodian left. According to DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers’ calculations, this would happen once the DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-excecuting genocide had wiped Cambodia clean of the Cambodian people, and the ChinaRulers-instigating-PolPot-excecuting war with Vietnam had depleted Pol Pot’s troops to the point he’d have to call out publicly to China’s Rulers for sending troops (and advisers, workers, etc.) in for help to keep his regime alive.
# Mong các Bạn thông cảm cho lời yêu cầu nầy nhé! Mong là các Bạn nào có thể giúp dịch dùm ý kiến nầy sang tiếng Cam-pu-chia, Lào, Thái, Nga, Trung Quốc, Hàn - Triều Tiên, Anh, Nhật, Pháp, Đức, Tây Ban Nha (Spanish), Bồ Đào Nha (Portuguese), In-đô-nê-si-a, và giúp đăng lên để Thế giới biết rõ, và do đó giúp ta đẩy lùi tiến đến tiêu diệt, ý đồ thâm độc của Giới Cầm quyền Bành trướng Trung Quốc đối với Cam-pu-chia và vùng Đông Nam Á có Việt Nam ta và Lào trong đó, trước khi chúng mở rộng ý đồ thâm độc bành trướng của chúng ra toàn Thế giới.
# Tôi đề nghị ta làm rõ ý đồ thâm độc của Mao Trạch Đông (Mao Ze-Dong), Đặng Tiểu Bình (Deng Xiao-Ping) và Giới cầm quyền Bành trướng Trung Quốc cho thế giới, và đặc biệt cho nhân dân Campuchia, biết. Ý đồ thâm độc đó là:
# Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình tâng bốc, xúi giục Pôn Pốt (Pol Pot), Iêng Sary không tiếc lời, không ngượng miệng, như “Cách mạng Campuchia của các Đồng chí là nhất thế giới”, “Chúng tôi phải học tập Cách mạng của các Đồng chí”, … Là thân phận nhỏ mọn từ một đất nước nhỏ nghèo, nay được Lãnh tụ nổi tiếng của nước đông dân nhất thế giới tâng bốc, bơm thổi, Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary trở nên nghông cuồng tin là mình vô địch, thật sự là cao siêu (dính bệnh “Cuồng vĩ”, giống Narcissism).
# Nhưng đó là những lời khen giống của con Cáo khen con Quạ trong một chuyện ngụ ngôn, hay chuyện con Ếch muốn to bằng con Bò.
# Sau lời khen là xúi giục (như Cáo xúi Quạ, làm Quạ nhả miếng phô-mát cho Cáo) và chỉ đạo, trong nước thì Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary tiến hành “Cách mạng” Diệt chủng, bên ngoài thì tấn công tàn sát dã man nhân dân Việt Nam.
# Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình xúi, chỉ đạo Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary tiến hành “Cách mạng” Diệt chủng, dĩ nhiên là để “dọn trống chổ” cho người của Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình tràn ngập vào thay thế, trước hết là cố vấn, sau đến lính, và cuối cùng là dân định cư. Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình thừa biết là tiến đánh Việt Nam, trước sau gì thì Pôn Pốt, Ieng Sary cũng sẽ thua, hết quân; dân cũng hết vì“Cách mạng” Diệt chủng.
# Đấy là lúc Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary sẽ phải kêu cứu, và Mao Trạch Đông, Đặng Tiểu Bình sẵn sàng, ung dung đưa quân, cố vấn, và cuối cùng là dân định cư vào Campuchia để “giúp” chế độ Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary.
# Thế là Campuchia trở thành một “Tân Cương” nữa, và là một “Tân Cương” đã hết sạch người Campuchia, dễ dàng cho Mao Trạch Đông, Đặng Tiểu Bình lập thành một tỉnh, huyện mới.
# Ta phải hiểu điều nầy để cảm nhận được hết cái CAY CÚ, CĂM GIẬN BẦM GAN TÍM MẬT của Mao Trạch Đông, Đặng Tiểu Bình và giới cầm quyền Trung Quốc đối với Việt Nam ta, vì ta đã cứu sống nhân dân đất nước Campuchia, làm chúng (Mao Trạch Đông, Đặng Tiểu Bình và Giới cầm quyền Trung Quốc) vuột ăn, mất đi một con mồi cực kỳ ngon béo là cả một đất nước Campuchia màu mỡ.
Interesting and believable analysis.
That really explained everything.
WOW!
My grand mother asked a khmer rouge soldier “Where are these trucks loaded with rice going?”. “China” he replied.
Có một chi tiết khá thú vị là 5 tên đầu sỏ , đầu não của Khơ me đỏ
Polpot , leng Sary , Nuon Chea , Khieu Samphan , Ta Mok đều là người gốc Hoa .
The world is more terrifying than I thought...
I swear we're really living in hell
good documentary about khmer rouge to show young generation to know about this past
And show the people who thinks this never happened, thinking it’s America propaganda
How everyone smiles and chuckles. Humanity is...a trip.
A smiling face is better than a haunted dreadful one. Not everyone can cry all the time. Even in the face of extreme calamity, some human natural defence mechanism is to smile and chuckle it off to avoid insanity.
Amazing documentary thank you for sharing
Great documental video. Mixed feelings about the nationals that carried out the killing on their own people!
How evil must you be when someone is describing how some "civilians" dressed up in military clothes were taken along with the real soldiers to be killed, and you actually LAUGH @23:55 and have to try hard to contain your amusement and pleasure of this fact??? That killing 1,000s of INNOCENT people, AND WOMEN, was somehow FUNNY? Sick af, literally. These people have mental issues, likely involving being psychopathy, including traits of lacking remorse, guilt or empathy, and manipulative, dishonest narcissism. All those involved in these massacre had to have these traits at some level. It's not a funny conversation. Those aren't the appropriate emotions to have when discussing this, but they cannot help themselves--they literally amused by the events. SCARY AF.
my sediments exactly
@Khmer protector, before you want to judge the Americans, why don’t you asked yourself “who started the Khmer Rouge war”
@@khmer_sputnik America, the wars and polpot- fucked up.
For a different culture it might well be a sign of discomfort. The initial bombing of Cambodia by the U.S. was also sick af, literally, as you put it.
I remember watching tv documentaries about horrific accidents and nurses, doctors etc often laughed and joked as they dealt with mangled people - it seems that it helps them to cope with the horrors and trauma, so maybe the same thing applies here i.e. that some of those involved have to laugh or smile about it now, or be tormented by demons for 40 or more years.
I am not taking any sides here, as it is not my country and I am not fully aware of the politics back then, which I feel is essential before judging the ordinary people who were caught up in it.
I just watched it on tv and waited for the cartoons or something, unable to grasp it in those days before the internet has allowed us to see different versions of the same truth, and realise how crazy it all must have been.
Such a beautiful country sad that it’s been ruined by the horrible atrocities there
Hopefully in time everything and everyone will heal
Let's be real and honest there's no healing to such thing that once happen and affect many millions of lives/family's..
I'm so sorry mam. He's resting peacefully now though, its good to know your being strong!
I still can't accept why Kissinger is still alive. Maybe Devils have a longer life.
Now he is no more
Thank for the uploaded documentation of the khmer rouge !!!
He sure knew exactly how they tied everyone up. Jesus
He's learned it by moving the body around to see exactly how the dead were tied up just in case one day he may have to give an interview.
He's a villager that knows how to tie knots. He saw people with rope around their wrists. Is it such a surprise that someone who ties rope around wood and whatever else could know how to tie rope around wrists without being complicit in a genocide? A bit assumptuous
This type of system is being jammed into the minds of American children in a subtle way. It is only a mattered time before something as horrific happens here in America. This documentary should be shown in schools, not the constant hatred of our country and it’s history.
Exactly!!!!!!! In 2024 it’s even worse! Wake up America
The fact that all those Khmer Rouge leader claimed they didn’t know why were people executed and who’s the commander behind the action was unsettling knowing the regime was originally created by the VietCong yet Pol Pot the new leader hate Vietnam
I was home sick in bed, did not see or speak to anyone all day! Very common in the killing field era!
Virtually no Khmer Rouge suffered any consequences from their mass murders.
Those last two biological entities embody the "banality of evil".💀
playing with decapitated head and still enjoing must be sick thanks for sharring this horrible massacre all death rest in peace
I think in all these peoples in this video they are Khmer Rouge
I had no idea about decomosing sound until now.
We must forever remember this terrible time of' Man's Inhumanity Towards Man.'...
I look at my parents and my entire family that lived through this horrific part of our history with absolute amazement. When my mother and father talk about what they went through I can still hear the sadness in their voices. To do this to your own people....your own countryman is just unfathomable to me. My parents and my family....We are just one, of many more Cambodians that have their own story to tell.
Edit: I don't understand how these people can sit there and speak so coldly about their role in the deaths of so many innocent people.... Especially the one who allowed his Uncle and his younger cousin to be killed. My mom often says if my Uncle...My dad's younger brother who was living with them in Phnom Penh, hadn't gone back to his home village he would still be alive today. Because he returned home people knew he had left to go to school so he was taken and like so many others he never came back.
Hi, Sammy. I recently retired from teaching high school in Oakland, CA. We have a large-ish Cambodian community here, and the parents of my Cambodian students were some of the saddest, most broken people I've ever met. My students were their "second children," because their first spouses and children had been killed years earlier. I so appreciate your care for your elders; few of my Cambodian students even knew their own country's history. Their parents didn't want to tell them, although some of the kids would arrive to school angry, confused, and trying NOT TO CRY (these kids had a hard shell!) because Mama had awakened in the night calling them "ghosts." 😢
BECAUSE my students had questions, I finally did a lesson on the genocide, and OMG, one boy stayed after class in tears. "Pol Pot was not evil. He was my father's friend. He tried to save our country!" etc. etc. etc. 😨 All I could think to say was, "I'm so glad that your family is safe now in Oakland." Anyway, bless you, Sammy, and I wish your family every good thing in the world.
I met Sambath. Very humble man.
What song is playing at 6:10 ?
This disgusting how relaxed these men were talking about massacring thousands. I’m sickened these rejects have not been punished
The pain of the survivors is generational
OMG, I started teaching high school in 2002, and my Cambodian children, and their families, were SO SO broken.💔
The great sadness that was inflicted upon the Cambodian people by dark left ideology. A lesson for all ignorant folks in the West

There’s a sense of deep feelings that this man isn’t telling the truth. He’s the Khmer Rouge leader. It would be impossible for him not know. He must’ve give the soldiers order to kill those innocent people

How Can those killers sleep at night
THe interviewer should haved asked them. Also the man how went away when his uncle and his daughter were killed. Why did he have so much fear to save them. The interviewer should have made clear the situation.
He would been killed too since they are relatives.
Ok Khmer why they do this man for no reason my mother said that hes father died there :(
The filmmaker's uncle is lying through his teeth. His chuckle at the people who weren't real soldiers who got on the trucks gives away his knowledge and true feeling. He is unrepentant. It's eerily similar to Nazi officials denying knowledge. He gives away the reason, revenge for brutal treatment of Khmer Rouge who were prisoners of the regime. It's clear only later he he came to the conclusion it went to far because the soldiers were just ordinary people. But he's trying to cover his rear, protect his reputation.
My grandpa and grandma survived but our whole family were lon nol soldiers I feel so much grief for them as none of them made it out of pochentong airforce base battambang phnom penh and elsewhere
Can`t watch this. OMG
So incredibly sad. This has nothing to do with political ideology what so ever. It seems the further time goes the more brutal we get. I shudder to think what may happen next.
This has everything to do with political ideology.it is a warning to us all never to listen to the arrogant fools that think that they alone have the way to utopia. Only through free speech and balanced social democratic process can we thrive.
It is extremely ideological. The ( maybe scary) thing about certain ideologies is that you cannot defeat an ideology. There are still Marxist types right now in our universities who worship Pol Pot and Mao Zedong. It's scary stuff! Ironically, at the same time as Pol Pot and KR, there was another nutter on another continent doing the same thing on a smaller scale ( Jim Jones and "Jonestown" ) I always think about Cambodia when I come across something about Jonestown. There is an ominous overlap.
I was drinking all the time in killing feal one day when I went to pick up a water at a wide big hold I was all full of human bones in my home town satuk satuk satuk
I'm so sorry about what happened to your nation. Pol Pot and the khmer rouge interest me but I in no way support them. I hope Cambodia can heal from this horrible event.

@@inging9264 Oh, Ok, Pol Pot was an evil man. He is that not that well known among the evil dictators of the world like Hilter and Statin. But I saw documentary about Pol Pot and he killed a lot of innocent people. He will a pay a heavy price in the next life.
I have a question that might be stupid but I am still confused as to why did they need to extract confessions from "traitors"? Like making it legal would actually achieve something. They could have simply killed them, it's not like the rest of the world would acknowledge this alleged treason and condone the torture and mass killings in the name of the Khmer Rouge. I'm guessing they thought the regime would last for a long long time and os they wanted to somehow rewrite history by making everyone eventually believe in their actions as heroic or something.
It seem like these men that are talking seem like they knew about what was going on are you sure they didn't kill all those people back in the Khmer Rouge. My boyfriend was born in Phoem Penh in 1975 and he seem like he don't want to talk about it.
All of them are the KR soldier, they live and know the area very well, Noun Chea and Pol pot is the master mind behind all of this issue, they know what they were doing.
What’s up with the laughter?
I believed what Noun Chea said was a lie. He was trying to be innocent and hiding his crime during the Khmer Rouge regime as he was the second most powerful man in the communist party. The Khmer Rouge looked at the Lon Nol's soldiers as enemies even after the war ended, all of them were considered as enemies and had to be eliminated. Both the civilians and soldiers from the city or towns were enemies of the Angkar (Khmer Rouge Communist Party), thousands of Lon Nol's surrendered soldiers were executed on 17 April 1975 and days later only a few were left among the civilians. All the civilians from the city and towns called Liberated people, were sent to live in the rural area far from the city or town to be starved and killed by the Khmer Rouge local soldiers. Noun Chea and Pol Pot were the only ones who ordered these war crimes, Comrade Duch said during his trial in Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, that they wanted to make a perfect generation for Angkar that was loyal to Angkar and believed in their socialist ideology even though they had to kill half of the population during that time.
Love to Cambodia…😢❤️ especially the mothers who had their babies slaughtered right infront of them…from one mother to another. I sobbed when I learned of the baby trees….
why should we punish the convict offender????
To punish the offender is nature! without this part in our society, everyone will be in great danger! don't be naive!
Unimaginable and absolutely horrific
I thought that was a piece of glass stuck in his hand when he was talking about playing with a decapitated head, but then I realized a butterfly landed on his hand. Wahhhheird.
@TrueGreatness73 Yes, someone should take the initiative and expose the truth through a proper documentary.

The laughing and smiling is disturbing
Is this the journalist that was portrayed in the movie killing fields?
I don't think it is the same man,Don. I think they would have mentioned his name. Dith Pran died of cancer in 2008 in New Jersey.
Ed Denoy thank you for the information
Great documentary. Generations of khmers peoples must know this history!!!!
first, i never said I live an intelligent life. second, saying that a religious symbol didn't do much for the people is a jab at that person, so you did actually trash him even though if it wasn't to straighforward. im trying to explain that im not really taking your words out of context.
Hmm, everyone was on the outside looking in, even the insiders.
my heart prayers go out to all the victims of political violence.
it is so sad.. thinking you have a job opportunity but it was a plan of massacre. So sorry for the cruelty the fallen had to endure.
They're lying.
some of yall have to understand they didn't have a choice, kill or be killed was the situation they were in
So, that is a time you weigh yourself. Will you take part in a mass murder, or will it be the end of your life.
My answer, take my life as I will not take part in tyranny,
Monty’s Cleece lmfao U need to learn history and how humans act. We are greedy and will do anything to survive or live better
Funny Stuff , no I’m 56, and don’t give a flying F if I do or don’t die. That’s the point in life I’m at. Before you start to ridicule someone you know nothing about, maybe you should learn some history.
You are a coward if you do not do what is right and will suffer your whole life until hell greets you in the after life.
@@inthemaze7441 As a second generation Cambodian American with my family being affected by this dark era and knowing my peoples history, in no way am I justifying these disgusting atrocities these evil people were doing but it was a do or die system. It just wasn’t your life on the line but your entire family. If you weren’t gonna do it all the people associated with you would just be shot in front of your eyes before it was your turn. Also a lot of the executioners they used were child soldiers because they were so easy to manipulate. It’s a complicated issue. These criminals will burn in hell.
I guess many of these 'victims' finally realized that the path of life they had chosen was the end of Revelation Road. Much like what happened to Polish Intelligentsia during WW2.
so sad
This is too painful to watch, talking nonchalantly about killing people as if it were chickens , all this happened during my life time in our own backyard and we couldn't do anything about it..
The muslim invasion of India in the 15th century slaughtered more than 80 to 100million hindus within a year . All this history is not widely known bro . Read . Killings were going on in everybody'd backyard throughout history . It starts from one's own education of the mind , then to the family , community , nation and the world . Organized Abrahamic religions and their political ideologies starts it . Religion becomes political , communism follows and mayhem happens . Humankind become hypocrites , totting religious values in disguise and we become unnatural . Real religion is LOVE . WE have forgotten it by coloring ourselves in different shades and preaching discord . PEACE Bro .
