This video is filled with some misinformation, Pol Pot was born into a wealthy farming family, he took a position as a monk using family connections, then spent time in Paris learning about his ideals, all of this when famine and civil war were happening.
@@MariaPereira-qc4px mate…your mentor totally missed the point. Moot point about Pol Pot upbringing. In no way embraces the premise of what’s being purported. I urge you to give it a screening. It’s purely humanitarian and environmental, with a devastating historical bent. Don’t rely on nitpicking…it’s a very informative and sensitive doco 👍
The attempted genocide of the Cambodian people is almost unbelievable. Pol Pot said that Cambodia didn't need so many people in the country.That is why it was enough for him to get to a million. After his defeat at the hands of the Vietnamese in 1979, he was never brought to trial for conviction. He died in 1998 in exile, amidst comforts of all kinds. 'Cause it was never doom'Cause it was never condvintage? China and the United States of America have always protected it for their interests in the area. Now I can cry all my tears for the innocent victims of an international political design.
I have lived in Siem Reap,Cambodia for the past 7 years and the Khmer people are so kind and welcoming. Its harsd to believe that they were subjected to the horros of the Khemr Rouge. I was shocked and turly moved when I toured S 21 and The Killing Fields. I love Cambodia and its unique and amazing culture.
This film was taken in 2001. It showed us the Khmer Rouge left the historical trauma in Cambodian and forest environment is facing destroying by humans. China is holding powerful influence to Cambodia for long time, since 1950’s until now. The rise of the Khmer Rouge and its rule over Cambodia were strongly supported by China. The Khmer Rouge massacred more than one million Cambodians, which the real master China is in behind. Without China’s support, the Khmer Rouge might not have been able to rule Cambodia. About this horrible history, China is never face it and apologize to Cambodia. Today, China continue used economic powerful to influence Cambodia. The valuable virgin forest in Cambodia is also facing increasingly destroyed with China’s business activities.
That's right, this world always has injustice. It's like a game between great powers. With America's promise to help the People's Democratic Republic of China have a seat on the United Nations permanent security council (replacing Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China). In return, China would influence North Vietnam not to liberate South Vietnam. However, the Vietnamese did not listen and completely liberated the south in 1975. So you can understand why, under Chinese influence, Pol Pot changed from communism to extreme nationalism. He purged all pro-Vietnamese communists. Massacred Cambodian civilians, brought troops to invade Vietnam and massacred tens of thousands of Vietnamese people (saying they wanted to regain the land of Cambodia from the feudal period of the Nguyen Dynasty), massacred people of Vietnamese and Chinese descent in Cambodia. But Vietnam only fought in self-defense without sending troops to Cambodia until Hunsen came to ask for help. At that time, Vietnam had just gained independence and the country's economy was very bad. Vietnamese people do not want to participate in any more wars. But Polpot did not stop, he continued to raid Vietnam's southwest border and massacre innocent civilians. Vietnamese people have a saying "although our lives like roses, our enemies force us to hold guns". When Vietnam sent troops to Cambodia in response to Hunsen's request for help and avenged innocent people. The Vietnamese overthrew the Pol Pot regime and helped liberate Cambodia. But the whole world has condemned Vietnam and placed an economic embargo on Vietnam, and China even sent troops to invade Vietnam's northern border. Why did Vietnam stay for 10 years? After January 7, 1979, Hunsen's regime had less than 10 thousand troops, while Pol Pot still had nearly 100 thousand troops. Pol Pot also received billions of dollars in aid from China, the United States, Thailand, Singapore. .. They continuously counterattack. If the Vietnamese don't stay to help, it will be like "kidnapping and leaving behind a plate". Only after the Hun Sen regime grew strong enough to ensure that Pol Pot had no possibility of returning, did the Vietnamese completely withdraw their troops back to the country. Tens of thousands of young Vietnamese soldiers have fallen forever on Cambodian soil in exchange for independence and freedom for their country. The loss is extremely great. And the world continues to change to this day. Human thoughts are always changing. After the wars, Vietnamese people understand how precious peace is. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once asserted: “There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies. Only national interests are permanent."
@@volongsi Thank you, I now understand how Vietnam was able to horribly defeat Pol Pot. In the shadow of the Vietnam War, a horrifying genocide was occurring in Cambodia.
@@volongsi At the end of 1978, Vietnamese troops entered Cambodia and overthrew the Khmer Rouge. To the Cambodians at the time, this was tantamount to liberation from the clutches of the devil. But the Chinese government continued to support the Khmer Rouge army active in the jungle until 1990, when the Cambodian peace issue was resolved at the international negotiation table. The leaders of the Khmer Rouge have also been judged by history. In this sense, China's strategic diplomacy towards Cambodia has suffered a setback. Therefore, China also abandoned the Khmer Rouge and used economic assistance to influence the subsequent Cambodian government. Therefore, in Cambodia today, whether it is members of the government or members of the royal family, the operator behind it is still China.
@@wolfg6136 Not only China support Pol Pot, it was including U.S, the West and almost ASEAN nation such as Thailand, Singapore..etc. Even UN also protest Vietnam that time. Only Vietnam stood up and against all of them to brought peace for Cambodia and stop genocide.
Last month we have visited Cambodia, Angkorvot Temple is a beautiful temple and is a testimony to the mankind's ability to build great monuments. Cambodian people are innocent and they are repeatedly suffering from so many man made misfortunes.
I'm Cambodian who consider myself full blooded American born and raised in the USA... I'm just trying to learn about my people's past. I'm a first generation descendant of refugees that being said.... the part that hits the hardest is the GI. Crazy story, god bless that man. Imagine getting drafted to go to war and you are touched and feel a certain way of trying to attone so your spirit calls. He aids in helping the children and the disabled the meek and the broken and provided them an economic way to generate wealth via silk farm and production. Brilliant I would say. I have no comment on Pol Pot... nor would my grandmother speak about the war, it was painful memories that I was able to infer. I know not my language because I believe it to be awful and ugly because as a child my grandmother would go into PTSD mode and just shout at me what she heard during the war. So I tuned out my own language... although now I'm beginning to realize how beautiful it is.
Being born in America or any countries doesn't make you full blood American. Your root is Cambodian your blood is Khmer. You're an Asian American( born in America) on your job application you are "Asian" NOT White it's sad for you to claimed you considered yourself you're full blood American.
Im an Australian who lived in sihanoukville for a decade. It still saddens me when I think of what the Cambodians went through under PP. The Cambodian people had no idea what was going on, all they wanted to do was enjoy their families, and they were put through hell for no fault of their own. The Pol Pot era has been kept from the young, but the old people are still worried that it could come back.And who can blame them when Hun Sen is still in power, seeing as he was a Khmer Rouge officer. ''Arkon Tran'' and Good luck to you and your family.
I have met & lived among Cambodian in a refugee camp many years ago who escaped the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Pol Pot. They are kind & friendly people. Unfortunately China was behind the Killing Fields as they trained Khmer Rough soldiers & provided weapons to massacre their own people. Its population would have been tiny had it was not for the Vietnamese Communist destroyed the Khmer Rough.
Thank you for your share Real History story, It's very sad history and felt sorry to all Cambodian people. It should not tragidized like the human ages, As I was the children of the French war and the part of Lao history in civil war and secret war in Laos from 1955-1975. I would like to hear and see the history like this in Laos after 1975's revolutionary took over the entire nation. My cousin was sent to longterm concentration and died in Sam_Neua since 1975's peace agreement on February 21,1973 and end December 2nd, 1975. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025. (50th year Anniversary). Your film was made me cries and was escaped from communist jail Then & Now's lucky life for freedom....
Until this day, no country is dared to condemn China and Singapore (later withdrew their support for Khmer Rouge) for their roles in supporting the Khmer Rouge from genocide…Without the strong support from China, Khmer Rouge wouldn’t have lasted that long in their murder rampage…And without the Vietnamese intervention, the Khmer Rouge would have wiped out their own people. Subsequently, Chinese government would send in their people to take over Cambodia…Mission accomplished…

Its leader, Pol Pot, was strongly influenced by Mao Zedong of Communist China. The killing rate of its own people was higher for Pol Pot, it killed about 30% of the Cambodian people, not 100%.
Where is your information from? At the time that Angkor Wat was built, the Khmer empire occupied virtually all of north and central Indochina. It was gigantic. Thailand did not exist; the Thai people later immigrated into Indochina from Guangxi in China. Vietnam was much smaller then and consisted of the region that is northern Vietnam today.

Thanks for sharing the video. What is the name of the Silk school? I would love to support it but Im not finding any information. Thank you for any information you can provide.
Let me teach you how to do this. You need a data point. If you recall from the video they introduce the American who helped start the school, so let's get his name. Cue the video to 26:23, enable captions, and listen for the guy's name. Then do an internet search for "guy's name cambodia". It should be easy to find from there. I too found this interesting and took it a step further. The Phnom Penh Post article about this guy's death seemed relevant but was pay walled. Fortunately, it seems to have been copy/pasted onto Cambodia Expats Online where I grabbed another name: Carol Cassidy. If I recall correctly she is bringing garments to American markets. I also found Angkor Silk Farm on a 2022 travel blog which contained a lot of info. It seems that there are several small silk weaving businesses supported in part by westerners.

The truth was part of Cambodia were under the total control of the Vietnamese. Those part of Cambodia under Vietnamese controlled become a French protectorate in 1863.

I lived in Cambodia for 8 years from around 2010. This video is lake a modern day TikTok, like and subscribe... I couldn't find a date for when it was filmed but it's old. There is little nature left at this point, the illegal loggers mentioned sold all that wood to someone in Hun Sen's crew you can be sure. After the war Cambodia took another hit from all the NGOs that poured in. 99% of them didn't really care about solving problems as long as those above the volunteer level could live large on donated money and drive around in their SUVs. Having lived all over SE Asia I can't put my finger on it exactly but I can easily see how they killed nearly half of their own population. Much different from Thais or Vietnamese.

@@daniellebcooper7160 Wrong. The Americans supported the Khmer Rouge in many ways. Diplomatically, they persisted in recognizing the Khmer Rouge as the ONLY legitimate governing entity of Cambodia at the UN until 1989. The Americans also secretly trained Khmer Rouge soldiers through the CIA. They passed on to the Khmer Rouge their experience in dealing with Vietnam. In November 1975, US NSA and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the Thai foreign minister: "You should tell the Cambodians (Khmer Rouge) that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we will not let that stand in our way." In a 1998 interview, Kissinger said: "Some countries, especially China, supported Pol Pot as a counterweight to those supported by the Vietnamese and we at least tolerated that." Kissinger said he disapproved of this because of the genocide and said that he "would not deal with Pol Pot for any purpose." He added: "The Thais and the Chinese do not want a Vietnamese-dominated Indochina. We do not want Vietnamese-dominated Indochina. I do not believe that we did anything for Pol Pot. But I suspect that we turned a blind eye when some others did something for Pol Pot." More to that, Kaing Khek Iev, a Khmer Rouge official known by his nickname Duch, testified at his trial in 2009 said "“Richard Nixon and Kissinger allowed the Khmer Rouge to seize golden opportunities”.

Most historian truncated the linked of Ang Eng leaned on the Vietnamese to be King of Cambodia. By the time his son Ang Chan II was King, the language of administration in Cambodia was called Chu-Han by the Vietnamese. By the time his granddaughter Ang Mey was Queen of Cambodia, she was basically a prisoner in her palace and her elder sister was executed for disobeying the Vietnamese order. King Norodom turned toward the French to liberation Cambodia. The first Cambodia territory fell under French control was Cochin-China. When the French attempted to took direct control over Cambodia in 1884, the Chu-Han the original administrator of Cambodia rebelled, and Pol Pot grandfather was Killed on the other side of the river from Prek Sbauv (Preah Sbauv).
The soldiers in this video are too young to be former Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot. Those soldiers would now be in their 60’s, 70’s or 80’s. Many of them would have been disabled. This throws the credibility of the entire documentary into question.
This series was made in 2000, only 21 years after the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the soldiers were young and the men in the video could easily be only in their 40's, making them in their 20's during the regime.
Pol Pot wasn't born a peasant at all. Little rich boy never did a day's work in his life. Other important facts incorrect or not mentioned throughout. Shit film.

History filled with all kind of fault narratives and I am only telling some truth and different angles of assessment. Books continued to confused the Chu-Han administrative language to the modern day Chinese Mandarin. Of course, the Chu-Han linked to the Han character but during the Nguyen Dynasty, the Vietnamese called themselves the Han Nhen and Called the Chinese Thanh Nhen or Tang Nhen and or Qing Nhen or Quin Nhen. It depended on the author spelling. The language of administrative was the Chu-Han in conjunction with the Han Nhen. The Chu-Han was the Mandarin, the administrative language in both Vietnam and Cambodia during the Nguyen Dynasty. The French continued to employed the Mandarin because they have the education and administering skills. From Ho Chi Minh to Khieu Samphan, they were descended from minor Nguyen's administrative official. Their parents would not get administering job without mastering the Chu-Han. Ho Chi Minh's father refused to work for the French's bureaucrat but able to remained an imperial magistrate in small town and village level. Khieu Samphan's father was a judge during the French's rule. Similar official level in small town and village to Ho Chi Minh's father Nguyen Sinh Sac in Cambodia rebelled against the French for adopted new rules for the local lord. The rebellion took the life of Pen, Pol Pot's grandfather in 1886. Pen was fell into the French's trapped and killed by the French for helping organized supplies for the anti-French rebellion.

Incorrect, Pol pot himself admitted he did not even understand Marx and he is not considered a Socialist or even a Marxist by Marx's definition I do not think you have read Marx or even know that much of Marxism-Leninism is Non-Marxist and has it's roots in Narodnichestvo which is a Non-Marxist School of Socialism, LENIN was a member of a Narodnik Movement!!! You people always yapping when you have no idea what you speak of
Pol Pot was basically a Khmer Ultranationalist Socialist which is completely Anti-Marxist and Anti-Communist, He was completely Ideologically Incoherent which is a sign of Fascism Any Nationalism is Non-Marxist unless in Specific contexts like Liberation Movements

@@davidwilliams3868 You don't understand anything. What is a cape?
The attempted genocide of the Cambodian people is almost unbelievable. Pol Pot said that Cambodia didn't need so many people in the country.That is why it was enough for him to get to a million. After his defeat at the hands of the Vietnamese in 1979, he was never brought to trial for conviction. He died in 1998 in exile, amidst comforts of all kinds. 'Cause it was never doom'Cause it was never condvintage? China and the United States of America have always protected it for their interests in the area. Now I can cry all my tears for the innocent victims of an international political design.
I have lived in Siem Reap,Cambodia for the past 7 years and the Khmer people are so kind and welcoming. Its harsd to believe that they were subjected to the horros of the Khemr Rouge. I was shocked and turly moved when I toured S 21 and The Killing Fields. I love Cambodia and its unique and amazing culture.
This film was taken in 2001. It showed us the Khmer Rouge left the historical trauma in Cambodian and forest environment is facing destroying by humans. China is holding powerful influence to Cambodia for long time, since 1950’s until now. The rise of the Khmer Rouge and its rule over Cambodia were strongly supported by China. The Khmer Rouge massacred more than one million Cambodians, which the real master China is in behind. Without China’s support, the Khmer Rouge might not have been able to rule Cambodia. About this horrible history, China is never face it and apologize to Cambodia. Today, China continue used economic powerful to influence Cambodia. The valuable virgin forest in Cambodia is also facing increasingly destroyed with China’s business activities.
That's right, this world always has injustice. It's like a game between great powers.
With America's promise to help the People's Democratic Republic of China have a seat on the United Nations permanent security council (replacing Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China). In return, China would influence North Vietnam not to liberate South Vietnam. However, the Vietnamese did not listen and completely liberated the south in 1975.
So you can understand why, under Chinese influence, Pol Pot changed from communism to extreme nationalism. He purged all pro-Vietnamese communists. Massacred Cambodian civilians, brought troops to invade Vietnam and massacred tens of thousands of Vietnamese people (saying they wanted to regain the land of Cambodia from the feudal period of the Nguyen Dynasty), massacred people of Vietnamese and Chinese descent in Cambodia.
But Vietnam only fought in self-defense without sending troops to Cambodia until Hunsen came to ask for help. At that time, Vietnam had just gained independence and the country's economy was very bad. Vietnamese people do not want to participate in any more wars. But Polpot did not stop, he continued to raid Vietnam's southwest border and massacre innocent civilians. Vietnamese people have a saying "although our lives like roses, our enemies force us to hold guns".
When Vietnam sent troops to Cambodia in response to Hunsen's request for help and avenged innocent people. The Vietnamese overthrew the Pol Pot regime and helped liberate Cambodia. But the whole world has condemned Vietnam and placed an economic embargo on Vietnam, and China even sent troops to invade Vietnam's northern border. Why did Vietnam stay for 10 years? After January 7, 1979, Hunsen's regime had less than 10 thousand troops, while Pol Pot still had nearly 100 thousand troops. Pol Pot also received billions of dollars in aid from China, the United States, Thailand, Singapore. .. They continuously counterattack. If the Vietnamese don't stay to help, it will be like "kidnapping and leaving behind a plate". Only after the Hun Sen regime grew strong enough to ensure that Pol Pot had no possibility of returning, did the Vietnamese completely withdraw their troops back to the country. Tens of thousands of young Vietnamese soldiers have fallen forever on Cambodian soil in exchange for independence and freedom for their country. The loss is extremely great.
And the world continues to change to this day. Human thoughts are always changing. After the wars, Vietnamese people understand how precious peace is.
Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once asserted: “There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies. Only national interests are permanent."
@@volongsi Thank you, I now understand how Vietnam was able to horribly defeat Pol Pot. In the shadow of the Vietnam War, a horrifying genocide was occurring in Cambodia.
@@volongsi At the end of 1978, Vietnamese troops entered Cambodia and overthrew the Khmer Rouge. To the Cambodians at the time, this was tantamount to liberation from the clutches of the devil. But the Chinese government continued to support the Khmer Rouge army active in the jungle until 1990, when the Cambodian peace issue was resolved at the international negotiation table. The leaders of the Khmer Rouge have also been judged by history. In this sense, China's strategic diplomacy towards Cambodia has suffered a setback. Therefore, China also abandoned the Khmer Rouge and used economic assistance to influence the subsequent Cambodian government. Therefore, in Cambodia today, whether it is members of the government or members of the royal family, the operator behind it is still China.

Not only China support Pol Pot, it was including U.S, the West and almost ASEAN nation such as Thailand, Singapore..etc. Even UN also protest Vietnam that time. Only Vietnam stood up and against all of them to brought peace for Cambodia and stop genocide.

AWESOME VIDEO, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO❤💯🙏
Last month we have visited Cambodia, Angkorvot Temple is a beautiful temple and is a testimony to the mankind's ability to build great monuments. Cambodian people are innocent and they are repeatedly suffering from so many man made misfortunes.
Thanks for your video, I am so sad when i see this video. I am from Cambodia.
I'm Cambodian who consider myself full blooded American born and raised in the USA... I'm just trying to learn about my people's past. I'm a first generation descendant of refugees that being said.... the part that hits the hardest is the GI. Crazy story, god bless that man. Imagine getting drafted to go to war and you are touched and feel a certain way of trying to attone so your spirit calls. He aids in helping the children and the disabled the meek and the broken and provided them an economic way to generate wealth via silk farm and production. Brilliant I would say. I have no comment on Pol Pot... nor would my grandmother speak about the war, it was painful memories that I was able to infer. I know not my language because I believe it to be awful and ugly because as a child my grandmother would go into PTSD mode and just shout at me what she heard during the war. So I tuned out my own language... although now I'm beginning to realize how beautiful it is.
Being born in America or any countries doesn't make you full blood American. Your root is Cambodian your blood is Khmer. You're an Asian American( born in America) on your job application you are "Asian" NOT White it's sad for you to claimed you considered yourself you're full blood American.
Im an Australian who lived in sihanoukville for a decade. It still saddens me when I think of what the Cambodians went through under PP. The Cambodian people had no idea what was going on, all they wanted to do was enjoy their families, and they were put through hell for no fault of their own. The Pol Pot era has been kept from the young, but the old people are still worried that it could come back.And who can blame them when Hun Sen is still in power, seeing as he was a Khmer Rouge officer.
''Arkon Tran'' and Good luck to you and your family.

I have met & lived among Cambodian in a refugee camp many years ago who escaped the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Pol Pot. They are kind & friendly people. Unfortunately China was behind the Killing Fields as they trained Khmer Rough soldiers & provided weapons to massacre their own people. Its population would have been tiny had it was not for the Vietnamese Communist destroyed the Khmer Rough.

Until this day, no country is dared to condemn China and Singapore (later withdrew their support for Khmer Rouge) for their roles in supporting the Khmer Rouge from genocide…Without the strong support from China, Khmer Rouge wouldn’t have lasted that long in their murder rampage…And without the Vietnamese intervention, the Khmer Rouge would have wiped out their own people. Subsequently, Chinese government would send in their people to take over Cambodia…Mission accomplished…

Its leader, Pol Pot, was strongly influenced by Mao Zedong of Communist China. The killing rate of its own people was higher for Pol Pot, it killed about 30% of the Cambodian people, not 100%.
South East Asia is a very large region, the old Kingdom of Cambodia did not cover "virtually all" of it.But otherwise, interesting video
I think youll find it did.
Where is your information from? At the time that Angkor Wat was built, the Khmer empire occupied virtually all of north and central Indochina. It was gigantic. Thailand did not exist; the Thai people later immigrated into Indochina from Guangxi in China. Vietnam was much smaller then and consisted of the region that is northern Vietnam today.

Let me teach you how to do this. You need a data point. If you recall from the video they introduce the American who helped start the school, so let's get his name. Cue the video to 26:23, enable captions, and listen for the guy's name. Then do an internet search for "guy's name cambodia". It should be easy to find from there.
I too found this interesting and took it a step further. The Phnom Penh Post article about this guy's death seemed relevant but was pay walled. Fortunately, it seems to have been copy/pasted onto Cambodia Expats Online where I grabbed another name: Carol Cassidy. If I recall correctly she is bringing garments to American markets. I also found Angkor Silk Farm on a 2022 travel blog which contained a lot of info. It seems that there are several small silk weaving businesses supported in part by westerners.

I lived in Cambodia for 8 years from around 2010. This video is lake a modern day TikTok, like and subscribe... I couldn't find a date for when it was filmed but it's old. There is little nature left at this point, the illegal loggers mentioned sold all that wood to someone in Hun Sen's crew you can be sure. After the war Cambodia took another hit from all the NGOs that poured in. 99% of them didn't really care about solving problems as long as those above the volunteer level could live large on donated money and drive around in their SUVs. Having lived all over SE Asia I can't put my finger on it exactly but I can easily see how they killed nearly half of their own population. Much different from Thais or Vietnamese.

America and China.
hai thằng đầu sỏ

@@daniellebcooper7160 Wrong. The Americans supported the Khmer Rouge in many ways. Diplomatically, they persisted in recognizing the Khmer Rouge as the ONLY legitimate governing entity of Cambodia at the UN until 1989. The Americans also secretly trained Khmer Rouge soldiers through the CIA. They passed on to the Khmer Rouge their experience in dealing with Vietnam.
In November 1975, US NSA and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the Thai foreign minister: "You should tell the Cambodians (Khmer Rouge) that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we will not let that stand in our way." In a 1998 interview, Kissinger said: "Some countries, especially China, supported Pol Pot as a counterweight to those supported by the Vietnamese and we at least tolerated that." Kissinger said he disapproved of this because of the genocide and said that he "would not deal with Pol Pot for any purpose." He added: "The Thais and the Chinese do not want a Vietnamese-dominated Indochina. We do not want Vietnamese-dominated Indochina. I do not believe that we did anything for Pol Pot. But I suspect that we turned a blind eye when some others did something for Pol Pot."
More to that, Kaing Khek Iev, a Khmer Rouge official known by his nickname Duch, testified at his trial in 2009 said "“Richard Nixon and Kissinger allowed the Khmer Rouge to seize golden opportunities”.

Most historian truncated the linked of Ang Eng leaned on the Vietnamese to be King of Cambodia. By the time his son Ang Chan II was King, the language of administration in Cambodia was called Chu-Han by the Vietnamese. By the time his granddaughter Ang Mey was Queen of Cambodia, she was basically a prisoner in her palace and her elder sister was executed for disobeying the Vietnamese order. King Norodom turned toward the French to liberation Cambodia. The first Cambodia territory fell under French control was Cochin-China. When the French attempted to took direct control over Cambodia in 1884, the Chu-Han the original administrator of Cambodia rebelled, and Pol Pot grandfather was Killed on the other side of the river from Prek Sbauv (Preah Sbauv).

The soldiers in this video are too young to be former Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot. Those soldiers would now be in their 60’s, 70’s or 80’s. Many of them would have been disabled. This throws the credibility of the entire documentary into question.
This series was made in 2000, only 21 years after the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the soldiers were young and the men in the video could easily be only in their 40's, making them in their 20's during the regime.

@@MupChoi Found the Khmer Rouge sympathizer lol
History filled with all kind of fault narratives and I am only telling some truth and different angles of assessment. Books continued to confused the Chu-Han administrative language to the modern day Chinese Mandarin. Of course, the Chu-Han linked to the Han character but during the Nguyen Dynasty, the Vietnamese called themselves the Han Nhen and Called the Chinese Thanh Nhen or Tang Nhen and or Qing Nhen or Quin Nhen. It depended on the author spelling. The language of administrative was the Chu-Han in conjunction with the Han Nhen. The Chu-Han was the Mandarin, the administrative language in both Vietnam and Cambodia during the Nguyen Dynasty. The French continued to employed the Mandarin because they have the education and administering skills. From Ho Chi Minh to Khieu Samphan, they were descended from minor Nguyen's administrative official. Their parents would not get administering job without mastering the Chu-Han. Ho Chi Minh's father refused to work for the French's bureaucrat but able to remained an imperial magistrate in small town and village level. Khieu Samphan's father was a judge during the French's rule. Similar official level in small town and village to Ho Chi Minh's father Nguyen Sinh Sac in Cambodia rebelled against the French for adopted new rules for the local lord. The rebellion took the life of Pen, Pol Pot's grandfather in 1886. Pen was fell into the French's trapped and killed by the French for helping organized supplies for the anti-French rebellion.
