- Cambodia is a country of impenetrable jungles and ruins lost in time. Where kings became gods and monks still seek heavenly peace. Now, this mysterious land has begun to open up to reveal the dark beauty that has lured adventurers here for centuries. For more than 30 years, the jungles have been cut off from the modern world, and much of that time it has been a Khmer Rouge stronghold.
David Adams boldly penetrates these jungles to meet with former Khmer Rouge militants to enter the last bastion of the Khmer Rouge and visit the final resting place of one of the most ruthless killers in history, Pol Pot. Their new purpose is to protect the forests and the populations of endangered wildlife. Though jungles and along the river the trek is not easy, nor is it in vain.

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.
Thank you ,saves me time watching bad info..
It's full of western propagandas.
very nice sharing
Fantastic 🇨🇦
Living Dreams / great show than you David
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.
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.
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.

I love how this was barely about Pol Pot
It's not a documentary about Pol Pot - David Adams does geography lessons, not history lessons more like anthropology.
We humans are fascinating
Lord, have mercy!
I spent a year in the USAF Task Force Alpha at Nakhon Phanom RTAFB in 1971-1972. I saw a lot of Cambodia and Laos.

Not to compare, both countries are very different!
And ?
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.
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…
Đúng vậy không có quân đội Việt Nam can thiệp thì đất nước Cabodia đã tuyệt chủng vậy mà họ khong biết ơn chúng tôi giờ giới trẻ còn cho là chúng tôi cướp nước họ thật là một dân tộc vô ơn

Is China doing something similar in Myanmar?
@@thanhtranserver without a doubt 🤬🤬🤬
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%.
That was the strangest video i have ever seen the soldiers are wearing sandals is that proper attire?
Why do you ask such a question ?

Show must go on as a great song use to say, human specie must evolve, nobody must live in a Museum like our ancestors centuries ago, not even in the Khmer villages, because recalling the Past enjoying ancestors traditions is always a great time, in our modern days, the most exciting touristic atractions to enjoy, you can bet on it. Therefore, let's invite people of Cambodia get smart and use web technologies for further touristic promotion and connect people for those who need to become their followers from now on, becoming a nice global family gives me a sense of...Holy Blessing satisfaction and such emotional documentaries now help a lot, welcome Cambodia everybody 🎉❤🎉

Just like a prayer for peace, let's invite everybody learn from the Past that murder is never the solution because....life must go on above any war dispute, life must survive, life is a much bigger battle than any kind of war and it's a hell of a struggle as anybody can see. Such tragedies have to teach everybody how life is precious..beyond the ridiculous ethnical disputes. Let's invite everybody enjoy the inspiration and visit modern Cambodia, seeking for new business partnerships, help each other learning to get along and...survive.

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. In support of Vietnam in 1886, Pol Pot's grandfather was killed by the French entrapment for helping the rebellion movement not far from Prek Sbauv, Cambodia. For this help, the Vietnamese administrator in Kampong Thom help his aunt landed a job at the palace in Phnom Penh because the French never replaced the administrator in Cambodia. The administrator in Cambodia before the French protectorate were filled with Vietnamese in every province and local township. Just take a look at the history of Cambodia during the era of Ang Chan II and his daughters. During Ang Chan II and his daughter era, Cambodian was forced to dress in Vietnamese costume and the Vietnamese author name Ben Kiernan tried to erase all this part of history from record. His multiple faulty history about Cambodia assigned all the blame on the French, which by 1863, Khmer language already not being used for administration language in Cambodia.
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).
Pháp chiếm toàn Đông Dương rồi mới phân chia lại lãnh thổ 3 nước này .
That hat looks nice in a cold climate. In Cambodia it looks stupid.
Just a couple of minutes of Pol Pot - did they put his name in the title in the hopes of sensationalizing their National Geographic-type film and attract more clicks?
18:18 so a bribe .don’t insult our intelligence we know how it works in some parts of the world

And who supported Pol Pot in United Nations?
America and China.
hai thằng đầu sỏ
wrong. pol pot had nothing to do with the americans.They were supporting Long Nol, who pol pot was against.
Louis Althusser and Kissinger have a lot to answer for.
Yes 11:44 Kissinger was a murderer.
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.
@@cezra833 Absolutely. There is still an Army - a ' real ' Army as David Adams described it.

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.

Oasama is considered as a Martyr in Pakistan. This is told by their ex president and Army chief Musharaf and their ex PM Imran Khan had declared this in their parliament. Bot the videos are in you tube. Imran Khan is a world cup cricket winning captain of Pakistan. So no Wonder Pol is also hailed as hero.
