A groundbreaking documentary sheds new light on atrocities committed in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime of 1975-1979.
The regime killed a greater proportion of their own people - more than 1.7 million men, women and children - than any other regime in the 20th century.
Five Khmer Rouge leaders are now in court facing justice, including Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, who was head of Security Prison 21 (S21).
But prison interrogator Ta Chan continues to live in a remote Cambodian village. While he has not been charged with any crime, survivors say Ta Chan played a key role at S21.
In exclusive footage from 1996, Ta Chan gives a guided tour of what he said at the time was a recently closed Khmer Rouge prison in the jungle.
Rarely seen footage from 1998 of the last known TV interview with ailing Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot, who led the country into the horrors of genocide, is also shown.
Among the programme’s extraordinary moments, a survivor of S21 sees himself on film shot the day he was rescued. At the time, Norng Champhal was a young child whose mother was among those executed.
More than 30 years later, he breaks down in tears as he sees the images and recounts the horror of the death camp. He describes how he survived by hiding in a pile of discarded clothes.
For survivors, feelings for the trials are mixed as both defence and prosecution lawyers reveal the credibility of the UN-backed war crimes tribunal is being jeopardised by the corruption allegations.

This will be seen by about 5 people.
Yup. Looks like our domestic Communist.
uh are we forgetting the Nazis killed 6 million
Stalin killed how many Ukrainians
Did waterboarding do that?? Caterpillars? “Walling”?
Those commie bastards at CNN will probably tell all about the real torture committed by the Khmer Rouge and then tie it to our frat hazing style of “torture” and let their brain-dead fans think that we did it.
Repeat after me:
Reading Comprehension Is A Good Thing.
Reading Comprehension Is A Good Thing.
The Nazis killed 13 million in "the camps".
But, as a proportion of the population, as the article points out, this was a lesser number than killed in Cambodia.
Likewise Stalin and the Ukrainians.
But . . but. . .but the movie “The Killing Fields” told us that the U.S. was responsible for the carnage of the Khmer Rouge. It was our atrocities that made them to that to their own people!
The US helped in that many of the Pol Pot supporters were angry about the bombings but I wouldn’t go so far as to say the US was responsible..that is ridiculous. Marxism is responsible..as usual.
I watched the documentary S-21 a few days ago. Very good documentary. Everyone should watch it. Quite disturbing and shows how easily something like this can happen. The interviews with the ex guards is particularly interesting. They still seem to have no remorse. Just following orders. Yes we can!
We can’t forget, Pol Pot was a mild mannered professor..just like someone else I won’t mention.
Obamunism= American Khmer Rouge

It's amazing how the MSM can report the crimes of the Khmer Rouge and yet fail to mention that the Khmer Rouge was a communist organization imposing a communist government.
Must be a different culture there, I would have hunted that grinning idiot down years ago.....
As for the Killing Fields, well, they had an agenda to pursue. Of course its only speculation, but if the North Vietnamese don't run the Ho Chi Minh trail through Cambodia (or Cambodia had been able to do anything to stop them, which they weren't really), then there's no US incursions/bombing into Cambodia as part of Vietnam and maybe the Khmer Rouge never gains power. But the NVA did use Cambodia, and the spillover of the Vietnam conflict into Cambodia destabilized the country in a way that did contribute to the Khmer Rouge gaining power...... So it lies closer to the feet of the NVA......
Our tax dollars at work.....
Where have you been? It was Nixon's actions in Cambodia that created the opportunity for the Khmer Rouge to take over. That's an old tale.
Yeah, don't you know he ordered John Kerry into Cambodia in December 68?
It’s seered...seered into his memory.
Yup! But you'd never convince the lying American press of this, even to this day. The press lied to thr American people then and they lie to us still to this day.
Widening the war, my a$$! The NVA was there before us! Why weren't they charged with "widening" the war? What the heck were we bombing if not NVA supply routes? Oh, we "pushed" them into Cambodia? No, they pushed us into Cambodia!
And our "peace" loving press continue to blame us to this very day!
I see decimon has drunk many gallons of liberal media koolaid . . . .
Before he was sworn in as President? Well, they didn't call him Tricky Dick for nothing.
