polpot killed my brother when he was only 7 years old. they cut off my brother's head and put it in a bucket full of mud. they are murderers. When the Vietnamese soldiers came to the rescue, I volunteered to join their army. Thank you to the Vietnamese soldiers who saved our country from the evil hands of polpot
@@ajaysidhu471 what the problem ? Visit Cambodia, the museum there can show you all the truth. Western world always telling that Vietnam expanding its power in Indochina but they keep support Khmer Rogue by funding them money, weapon and attack Vietnam on diplomacy side. Western always lie, white supermacism is never ending.
Thank you for your voice! I think you need to tell this to the young Khmer people who forget everything about the Pol Pot regime and blame Vietnam for the destruction of Cambodia. They need some education
I used to hate Viet Cong like the girl in the film because I lived through those wars in my early teenage years. After I went through the Khmer Rouge regime, I had every reason to thank the Vietnameses for ousting the Khmer Rouge. I lost many family members during the Khmer Rouge. I've been living in the USA since 1982 after going through multiple refugee camps in Thailand. I graduated from high school in 1985 and later graduated from Washington State University. I considered myself very blessed with all the help from different people everywhere, including the UNHCR. I don't have hate against anyone anymore. Instead, I'm doing my best to help the world a better place for everyone.
Also not all veitcong are communist and they were fighting against foreign occupation not to spread communism. And wasn't it America's fault that the Khmer rouge came to power.
I knew a Cambodian gentleman who also graduated from WSU and later worked at Boeing as an engineer. He used to work part time with me at the math lab at Bellevue College, Bellevue WA. You reminded me of him, you you might well be him 😊.
I'm totally agree with you 💯 on that. I use to hate the Việt Cộng. I thought they might kill us all on the April 30 1975 . But I'm thankful for Vietnamese army's to protect us from the Potpot Regime the MIÊN ĐỎ. I'm from HÀ TIÊN. I GRADUATED FROM HS IN 1986 IN OHIO. NOW IS MY RESIDENCE EVER SINCE
In 1979, my grandfather commanded a platoon from VietNam to go to Cambodia to destroy polpot. After that mission he can return to visit his family for the first time. But unfortunately, they sent us a picture of him, which means he died on the battlefield. He was too young at the time and he had never met my mother-his only 3 year old little daughter in hometown. We lost him forever, miss him really❤️🩹. So far our family has not received his remains. Therefore we are planning a trip to find his remains, wish us luck!!
sorry to hear that your grandpa lost his life in cambodia. your grandpa is a hero for cambodian people. polpot is an animal, cruel, killed million people.
@@masterhengking1007More than 30,000 Vietnamese soldiers died in Cambodia, including my father. To this day, my family still does not know where my father's body is. Because of the war with the Khmer Rouge, Vietnamese people lost nearly 50% of their budget. defense policies and countless embargoes and criticisms. While our country has only been independent for 5 years. And now some Cambodians repay the favor to the Vietnamese. by saying that the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia. and reclaim the land. Do you think that year if we only thought selfishly about the country and did not care about Cambodia, could you comment here? Force us to return the land. That would be more than 30,000 lives.

This is propaganda, very untrue. These Khmer Rouge killed almost half of their own people and many innocent Vietnamese civilians in the bordering towns. They invaded 20 km into Southern Vietnamese soil. I’m not for communism in Vietnam but at this time Vietnam just completed the Vietnam War and didn’t want to get into another war. Vietnam tried many times to work this out peacefully with them, but they didn’t leave Vietnam alone. They thought that with the Chinese backing, they were strong enough to invade Vietnam. Vietnam did exactly what any country would have done. It defended itself and launched the war into their land and captured the whole Cambodia within 30 days. The Khmer Rouge ran with their tails in their pants into the jungle of Thailand. Just as Vietnam was ready to chase them out of the Thai jungle, their backers, the Chinese, invaded northern Vietnam in 1979. Vietnam fought multiple wars back to back up to this point and still able to whup the Chinese and pushed them back their land. Never invade Vietnam. Who taught who a lesson…:-))) lol
this video is from 1970 long before the khmer rouge gained any sort of power or had any numbers. they were a non factor in 1970. she wanted to kill vietcong because at that time cambodia was neutral and the vietcong intruded into our country without our permission. in conclusion the americans and vietcong brought the war to cambodia. the vietnamese and americans destabilised cambodia which opened the way for the khmer rouge to take power
Think bigger, China used Cambodia as a player to drag down Vietnam since they don't want Vietnam get out of control, they want atleast 2 things, keep Vietnam under their control as North Korea, weak and don't come closer with USSR, everything started since late 1960s and goes public at 1972 when Deng Xiao Ping met Nixon in Shanghai. The tragedy is both Vietnam and Cambodia is the price they paid to US to gain US's trust and support when they don't happy with USSR. They even reject the plan of Vietnam to get united, they want to maintain the divide of Vietnam. Small and weak countries alway used by big countries to serve their interest.
As a ethinc chinese child whos family all oringinated from cambodia for about 5-6 generations before me, my grandfather, my father, and my grandfather's father told me about stories of living under pol pot's rule. It was gruesome as they told me everynight they hear screams and howling of wolves who came to eat the corpse of people who were killed by the khmer rouge. During the vietnamese invasion of cambodia, the khmer rouge rounded up almost every man in the place where my grandfather, my father, and my great grandfather to fight the vietnamese. They were handed guns but they ran away when the khmer rouge leader wasn't looking. They ran for the vietnamese troop with a sort of white rag to avoid being shot, god bless the young vietnamese solider who didnt shoot my family and let them through. They gave my family food,water, which was little but better than whatever they've recieved. My family always spook highly of the vietnamese who invaded cambodia to overthrow the khmer rouge. But many other khmer families harbored hatred of the vietnamese because they think them of invaders who took our landed and kill our people. I don't see it as such because it was "our people (khmer rouge" who killed over 1 million of khmer people and when the vietnamese come they came to get rid of the killer of our kind. God bless every single family who went through this, the young men and women who fought and die who didn't have to die.

Now I see why there is always debate between these two countries. Please calm down buddies , history has been written and cannot be reversed. Also I am from Myanmar , thanks to the Vietnamese , now Cambodia had a dynasty of Hun Sen. Also we have been suffering from a corrupt military who thought its people were slaves for the military. I don't believe in any politics , but what I do believe is , people should have their basic right and need to have basic needs. From what I saw , Vietnam was good and prosperous under communist party and its people are supportive. Not even like China. Good for you guys.
Prosperous my ass. I have no idea what media you were feeding on, but most Vietnamese are poor, ignorant, and they always have to submit to the state's oppression. What you see on the media is a small group of middle class in the one famous big city in Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon. People have to live with this state's oppression and get used to it because they cannot do anything about it. Systematic corruption from the political machine to the local government's office next door. It's horrible.

Cambodia's history today needs to be clearly written about the genocide that the Khmer Rouge have caused in Cambodia. America, China and some Southeast Asian countries have helped the genocides kill more than 2 million Cambodians. a shame they are trying to forget. At that time, Cambodia was like a hell, but no one, no country came to save this poor nation. only Vietnam, a country that has just escaped the war with the US. Vietnam saved this country. I think these journalists made this film to smear Vietnam. That's wrong, in 2018 the international court sentenced the killers in Cambodia. Young people need to be educated so that they understand who is the killer and who abets them, and they need to be grateful to those who have helped them in difficult times.

@@weaseltheweasel302 you are wrong. Vietnam planned to withdraw its troops in 1982 after helping the Cambodian government rebuild the country. but the Cambodian government asked Vietnam to keep its forces because they could not afford to run the country against the Khmer Rouge genocides who were gathering forces near the Thai border at that time. Vietnam then agreed to withdraw gradually and completely in 1989. During that time, Vietnam both helped Cambodia fight Polpot and helped them build a strong army. Vietnam has helped rebuild the houses of the people that have been destroyed, and supported Cambodia to rebuild its economy and operate the state. It can be said that everything Cambodia has today is thanks to Vietnam's help. If there was no Vietnam, only with genocide and its madness, today Cambodia would be zero. Learn more about the history, you can simply read the entire content. content on wikipedia. History should be respected neutrally, don't take your biased view of someone just because you don't like them.
You need to grateful that Cambodia back then helped you people fighting themselves. Remember Ho Chi Minh trail? We Cambodian let you walked in Cambodian land without any resistance and bloodshed. But unfortunately you people spread these bloodshed in Cambodian land. The American bombed us Cambodian because there were Viet Cong there. Due to those bombs, a lot of Cambodian died. And due to that the country was destabilized and small group of communist party were getting their powers. You Vietnamese should be educated

I have done so much research on Cambodia in the last 5-6 months. My mother went through the genocide and was lucky to survive. The girl at the end is so gracious and it was a beautiful interview.
Truth is pol pot and king sihanouke get tricks by Vietnam and china, 1967 sihanouke and pol pot join Vietnam communists to fight Lon Nol, communists beat Lon Nol in 1975,then Khmer rouge start to genocide 3 millions Khmer people while Vietnam hide in the jungle and wait for 4 years,then they fight Khmer rouge, pretend to save Khmer people so they think they are heroes.Khmer people get tricks by Vietnam communists,they betrayed Pol Pot by invade Cambodia and take Khmer lands.
@@beedub93 Thank you, but at that time, it wasn't just me who suffered!!!, no our whole country, except the riches and Royals like Sihanouk and his families!!!!.

May all their souls are in heaven, except the KHMER ROUGES themselves that their souls were condemned to ETERNITY. Their are 9 siblings in my family, i lost 2 sisters and 3 brothers.

My parents ended up teaching at Kent State in the Fall of 1970 the US government bombed Cambodia Christmas time 1969. Students protested spring 1970. Thirteen were shot at Kent State. A small sacrifice compared to the peoples of Southeast Asia but I grew up there among the reptiles of Ohio.

the situation being Before the Khmer Rouge Regime makes me more even sentimental about this film. Keep faith and hope Cambodia. May peace kept in Cambodia and Democracy prevail and all Corruptions demolished.
basically, this is not my data The previous Cambodian regime hated Vietcong because they refused to leave their country. Therefore, their king allowed the US to bomb their country to drive Vietcong away, which made a part of the people angry and joined Polpot and took power from the king. But Polpot hated Vietcong and wanted to take back southern Vietnam the clay of their once empire, that's why they invaded their former lands first and chased and killed the existing Vietnamese capitalists, which has been there from the early days of Indochina... or those who fled the Vietnamese communists. They also massacred intellectuals out of fear of potential subversion from Western intellectuals and opponents. In short, a great genocide... The hate in this video came from the previous time where the king still remain there as described in the video's description "Three months ago Cambodia was invaded by the American and Vietnamese armies" -> Bombing?

Nah you gotta thank the prime minister since he isn't a Maoist ideologist. The problem is the ideology within the party. Maybe you don't understand communism I suggest picking up Karl Marx book if you are into philosophy. The Khmer Rouge were just Maoists that trained the ethnic Chong to fight. So pretty much the Chong got their revenge cause in the Khmer history there was incident between the Khmer and the ethnic chong I believe in 1700s or 1800s. They fled to Thailand near the Thai and Khmer border.
I was on the Cambodian border { Parrot's Beak} in 71 with an American 2 man advisory team and 100 Cambodian soldiers { being trained] . The Cambodian and Vietnamese in the South have been fighting for centuries but this war went far into Cambodian. I also knew a 15 yr. old Vietnamese teenager that was fighting for a year and was hit twice { 1970 }. On his 16th birthday we had a party for him , since now , legally, he had to officially join the ARVN Army. He went into the ARVN Rangers at 16 . He was from Moc Hoa , Vn. on the border.
These people in the comment are so ignorant. This was filmed in 1970, the late Vietnam War, 5 years before the Fall of Saigon and Phnom Penh, 5 years before the Khmer Rouge genocide of Cambodians and Vietnamese, 8 years before the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, 9 years before the Sino-Vietnamese War, 9 years before Vietnamese border conflict with Thailand. This was filmed during the Cambodian Civil War and after the overthrow of Sihanouk's monarchy.

They lie in English that he is 14. If he said fourteen that would be "ayu buen dap", that is a very different sound, cannot be confused.

It's amazing to see how far this country has come, how the Cambodian People's Party and Hun Sen have maintained peace and economic growth, and overall just how optimistic the future is for everyone. I really hope that there are many, many more years to come of this sort of peace. Thank the Peace, thank progress! 🙏
Pol Pot and his inner circle were trained by the French communist party when they were young studying in France. The holocaust they perpetrated came right out of Mao's book on revolution-empty the cities, kill all the educated, create a socialist hell and destroy a country. Other Khmer Rouge were trained by Ho Chi Minh's communist party in North Vietnam. They have no regrets for what they did. The leaders at the KR trial in Phnom Penh proved that. Place the blame where it belongs-on the communist policy of Mao, Pol Pot, and Ho Chi Minh. I was there in the Vietnam War-the communists ruled by terror, torture, and violent assassination of South Vietnamese school teachers, village , and SVN administrators. That fact is glossed over in schools so the young don't know the real truth of the war. the co van
my friend from Ba Chuc has mother who lives throught the massacre Ba Chuc.She often told me about the horrible things Khmer Rough had done in the massacre, talking about her hatred for Pol Pot and the countries that supported Pol Pot, especially America and China, she said it was hard to forgive them... tolerating and abetting a bloody genocide.
“China supported the Khmer Rouge during the 1970-1975 war and was the sole critical supporter throughout the 1975-1979 Democratic Kampuchea period of genocide
it is a fact that the vietcong intruded into a neutral cambodia and brought war to the country another fact is that america illegally bombed cambodia to try and dislodge the viet cong but ended up killing cambodians and distabilising the country instead the vietnamese and americans should have never been in cambodia
A revealing question .... Who supported Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge to the bitter end ? # First, it's China - Directing, encouraging and supporting them to wipe Cambodia clean of Cambodians, making it ready for Chinese advisors, soldiers, workers, and settlers to flood in and turn it into another XinJiang (a China's conquered province) # Next, USA - Supporting and using Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge (plus prodding Deng XiaoPing's China) to exact revenge on the Vietnamese who had dared to shoot down their B52s and kick the American new colonialists who were taking on the mantle of the French old colonialists, out of their country Vietnam # Then, Thailand, Singapore, .... - Lackeys following orders from the USA (and from China's in the case of Singapore) # Lastly, UK, Australia, .... - USA's vassals.

At the very beginning, the communist Khmer of Cambodia, the Pathet Lao of Lao, and the Communist North Vietnam all agreed that the French and the United States need to be out of Indochina and they all support one another. But Pol Pot mistrust the Communist Vietnamese and began to betrayed them. The alliance was broken between Communist Khmer and Communist North Vietnam.

You are wrong!!!!!!!! the bombing in Cambodia was not in 1975!!!!! it was in 1969 or 70, i don't remember. The ousting of Sihanouk was the best thing that the Cambodians did at that time. You are either too young or hasn't borne yet. His Royals entourages were so corrupted, money was the only thing they think of. He was ready to sell his country to China, luckily we kicked him out in time. Did you Know that we lost the war to Pop Pot because of him? at first Lon Nol's army won lots of battles, but Lon Nol party also had lots of bad people that stole soldier's money. so the morals were low, then Sihanouk broad casts from N. Vietnam & Peking to have all youths raised against Lon Nol. That was how we lost the war to POl Pot. Later Sihanouk shamelessly returned to Cambodia but Hun Sen he was & still is a KR. only give him his title as the Puppet King!!!!!!!!! i never forgive Sihanouk for this, may all the suffering and deaths of all Cambodians haunt his soul to Eternity, may he never rest in peace or reborn to any human!!!!. Your opinion sounds like you are also part of the L. wing!!
they’re talking about how the vietcongs known as “VCs” in the video, came to invade so they all have to be fully trained in armed force to survive and also to protect the country
makes me so sad watching this. all these young people had their life and youth taken away from them. war is so tragic cambodians should make sure this never happens ever again. we must be strong, we must be smart and we must develop rapidly. cambodia needs to become no 1 in asia. that is the mentality we need. we must win at all costs so foreigners can never meddle in our affairs again. long live the khmai nation and civilisation
I, personally, don't think so. Cambodia cannot afford a stable and independent politics position. Cambodian governments ( Pol pot, Sihanouk and now Hunsen) are easily provoked by ultranationalism about Khmer Empire and manipulated due to its over-dependence on other countries, specifically China. Now they have multiple parties, surely the situation would get worse. Foreign forces would use parties to affect Cambodia politics. The ultranationalism and over-dependence mentality of Khmer would be exploited to destabilize Cambodia in domestic society and provoke conflicts in foreign affairs. China did use Khmer wisely under Pol pot regime to befriend with America, destabilize Vietnam and confront with the Soviet. Deng Xiaoping successfully made the relationship with America by helping Pol Pot. No wonder China will use Cambodia again in the near future for its plan to replace America as world super power. But Vietnam that time surely will not help, and watch China turn you guys into hell for its benefit Vietnam is not alone now, and would only defense ourselves, not intervine into Cambodia whatsoever Hunsen has betrayed Vietnam and followed China as Pol Pot did, sold Sihanoukville, Ream base and coast line to China. Singapore and many other countries have proposed to kick Cambodia out Asean as it is easily manipulated by foreign forces against the whole community benefits.
@@jemappllesphan6143 I have no problem with Cambodia and sincerely respect your nation's thirst for development. Just some personal thoughts about current Cambodia geopolitical issues. I hope Cambodia would be stable, independent, not provoked by ultranationalism and live in harmony with its neighbors
Cambodia has been cursed with very bad incompetent leadership. I mean, Sam rainsy and khem sokha are the only hope for cambodia? Seriously? They're no different than hun sen. Cambodia not only needs to develop, but now, needs to find a way to loosen china's grip on the political level. If only Cambodia could develop self-sustainably, as they did during the angkorian Era. I also feel racism is a big problem for khmer people. Our perspectives need to be broaden and our thinking needs to be more progressive. I feel khmer people really lack these qualities which both the thais and vietnamese possess.
Anyone know, (not assume) if this girl survived the war? I'm a Cambodian/Khmer scholar, so I know the historical likelihood of her presumed fate. The great modernity of the Internet should make it feasible to find out, so I know many of us viewers would really appreciate knowing what became of her.
Polpot là người lai gốc Hoa(china) không phải người campuchia thuần chủng. Campuchia thuần chủng phải Mắt To Đen,Tóc xoăn. Cuối cùng người Khmer bị người Trung Quốc chi phối.
I have never met a Cambodian after the demised of the KR were out that any Cambodians did not loose any member of their family. Unless they were and are the Khmer rouge themselves!!!!!!!
Knowing what was to come and historical facts, it is easy to see the propaganda spin of this report. With that knowledge I watch current reports on the war in Ukraine with a real pinch of salt.
USA and allies has opposed Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia and helped the Rouge Khmer hold seat in the United Nations, China continue to give weapons to them at the same time invaded the North, but Vietnamese is Vietnamese, in the future when the Western media erased the history of this liberation, Cambodian descendants may be ungrateful to Vietnam, but we never regret opening that military operation.
An impressive and intelligent young Khmer girl joined the Army to help defend the Khmer motherland. We had the courage and ability among the populace, even back then, but lack the competent leadership at the top to lead them. Shame. Hopefully that we will never be put in this position ever again.
Hi Boran, this is Sithanary Kim, the girl in the interview. We were not forced to join the army, we were just training the Commando tactics that the leader of our country implement to all the high schooler in Cambodia to practice to prepare themselves in case we were needed to recruit to the army. This is the first time that i really saw the video of my self after being recorded since 1970. Thank you for your support and peace to you , your family and our country Cambodia.
That 19 year old girl encapsulates the tragedy and horror of it all. What a waste ! How such an idealistic, intelligent person was dragged into the quagmire of the Indochinese conflict. Her naivety is also a reflection of the typical attitude of well to do Khmers of the time. 1970 was the year when Lon Nol's coup d'etat began Cambodia's tragic decline into destruction and misery. If only they'd known at the time that the real villains who would eventually bring them hell were not the Vietcong but their own radicalized compatriots, the Khmer Rouge.
I think the date is wrong or something... The Vietnamese didn't actually go into Cambodia until 1978, so idk who are the enemies they are talking about??
@@alexfriedman2047 No, you are wrong. The Vietnamese- both the US backed South and the North- did indeed invade Cambodia after the 1970 Lon Nol coup. The US bombing and brief incursion of ground troops into Cambodia led to the North Vietnamese/Vietcong, who up until then were only in the border areas, to push further into the country. It was these North Vietnamese who aided the Khmer Rouge and did the majority of the fighting in the early phases of the war in Cambodia. The Vietnamese (by then unified under the north) invaded Cambodia again in 1979 to overthrow Pol Pot and remained for the next ten years.
@@Monatio79 On second thought you might be right. They are not dressed in the uniforms that the Khemer Rouge wore. Very interesting. It was just minor skermishes though. It wasn't a full scale ground invasion by any side, although we did bomb the f outa cambodia because of the HoChiMin trail.
@@Monatio79 The Khmer Rouge were originally communist and were allies of Vietnam at that time. They allowed Vietnam to use Cambodian land to move called the Ho Chi Minh trail. But after internal conflicts The party's soldier, Polpot, destroys those who think against him , Since then, the Khmer Rouge became 1 organization according to sterilityism with the ideology of Mao Zedong. 1974-1978 Red Khome was pulled by China and the US behind the strings to destroy the border and kill hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese people. 1978 Vietnam was forced to attack again and destroy Ponpot 1979. The United Nations then accused Vietnam of invading Cambodia and then the United Nations tried the Khmer Rouge for genocide
the killing is read. The question is who created pol pot is it Sihanouk?or the enemy we hate the most? And why are we lost so much live and destructive?
Who created P Pot? . It was Sihanouk that made this group formed in order to fight against him. There were so much corruptions and un fairness in societies that these K.R ware formed. Lon Nol just going up against the damp that is already broken. Sihanouk? at the time, he is in big China, with 4 chefs, house with a swimming pool, a tennis court & all the luxuries you can think of, while his million's people suffered under the cruelty of P.Pot's. So Cambodia lost the war to P.Pot because Sihanouk wants the power back & conspired with the K Rouge & broadcasted days & nights with Peking radio stations and the N. Vietnamese stations, creating chaos & have children argue with parents, create distrust between the Khmers themselves. That is when soldiers left Lon Nol's troops & join the K Rouge & won that damned war. May both P.Pot & Sihanouk's souls MAY NOT REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the very girl in this footage, i was there, flesh & blood & witness the whole charade.

@@ajaysidhu471 what the problem ? Visit Cambodia, the museum there can show you all the truth. Western world always telling that Vietnam expanding its power in Indochina but they keep support Khmer Rogue by funding them money, weapon and attack Vietnam on diplomacy side. Western always lie, white supermacism is never ending.
Thank you for your voice! I think you need to tell this to the young Khmer people who forget everything about the Pol Pot regime and blame Vietnam for the destruction of Cambodia. They need some education
@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf no the khmer Rouge only killed Cambodians who weren't from there like Chinese Cambodians and other ethnic groups
I used to hate Viet Cong like the girl in the film because I lived through those wars in my early teenage years. After I went through the Khmer Rouge regime, I had every reason to thank the Vietnameses for ousting the Khmer Rouge. I lost many family members during the Khmer Rouge. I've been living in the USA since 1982 after going through multiple refugee camps in Thailand. I graduated from high school in 1985 and later graduated from Washington State University. I considered myself very blessed with all the help from different people everywhere, including the UNHCR. I don't have hate against anyone anymore. Instead, I'm doing my best to help the world a better place for everyone.

Also not all veitcong are communist and they were fighting against foreign occupation not to spread communism. And wasn't it America's fault that the Khmer rouge came to power.
I knew a Cambodian gentleman who also graduated from WSU and later worked at Boeing as an engineer. He used to work part time with me at the math lab at Bellevue College, Bellevue WA. You reminded me of him, you you might well be him 😊.
I'm totally agree with you 💯 on that. I use to hate the Việt Cộng. I thought they might kill us all on the April 30 1975 . But I'm thankful for Vietnamese army's to protect us from the Potpot Regime the MIÊN ĐỎ. I'm from HÀ TIÊN. I GRADUATED FROM HS IN 1986 IN OHIO. NOW IS MY RESIDENCE EVER SINCE
In 1979, my grandfather commanded a platoon from VietNam to go to Cambodia to destroy polpot. After that mission he can return to visit his family for the first time. But unfortunately, they sent us a picture of him, which means he died on the battlefield. He was too young at the time and he had never met my mother-his only 3 year old little daughter in hometown. We lost him forever, miss him really❤️🩹. So far our family has not received his remains. Therefore we are planning a trip to find his remains, wish us luck!!
Auguri sinceri dall'Italia,che la tua ricerca del tuo caro famigliare,abbia fortuna,ciao!

This is propaganda, very untrue. These Khmer Rouge killed almost half of their own people and many innocent Vietnamese civilians in the bordering towns. They invaded 20 km into Southern Vietnamese soil. I’m not for communism in Vietnam but at this time Vietnam just completed the Vietnam War and didn’t want to get into another war. Vietnam tried many times to work this out peacefully with them, but they didn’t leave Vietnam alone. They thought that with the Chinese backing, they were strong enough to invade Vietnam. Vietnam did exactly what any country would have done. It defended itself and launched the war into their land and captured the whole Cambodia within 30 days. The Khmer Rouge ran with their tails in their pants into the jungle of Thailand. Just as Vietnam was ready to chase them out of the Thai jungle, their backers, the Chinese, invaded northern Vietnam in 1979. Vietnam fought multiple wars back to back up to this point and still able to whup the Chinese and pushed them back their land. Never invade Vietnam. Who taught who a lesson…:-))) lol
this video is from 1970 long before the khmer rouge gained any sort of power or had any numbers. they were a non factor in 1970.
she wanted to kill vietcong because at that time cambodia was neutral and the vietcong intruded into our country without our permission. in conclusion the americans and vietcong brought the war to cambodia. the vietnamese and americans destabilised cambodia which opened the way for the khmer rouge to take power
Bạn nói đúng, bao nhiêu lính tình nguyện Việt Nam đã hi sinh ở Campuchia cho đất nước campuchia hồi sinh.
that is right
Succinctly and correctly put ! Thanks.
Think bigger, China used Cambodia as a player to drag down Vietnam since they don't want Vietnam get out of control, they want atleast 2 things, keep Vietnam under their control as North Korea, weak and don't come closer with USSR, everything started since late 1960s and goes public at 1972 when Deng Xiao Ping met Nixon in Shanghai. The tragedy is both Vietnam and Cambodia is the price they paid to US to gain US's trust and support when they don't happy with USSR. They even reject the plan of Vietnam to get united, they want to maintain the divide of Vietnam. Small and weak countries alway used by big countries to serve their interest.
As a ethinc chinese child whos family all oringinated from cambodia for about 5-6 generations before me, my grandfather, my father, and my grandfather's father told me about stories of living under pol pot's rule. It was gruesome as they told me everynight they hear screams and howling of wolves who came to eat the corpse of people who were killed by the khmer rouge. During the vietnamese invasion of cambodia, the khmer rouge rounded up almost every man in the place where my grandfather, my father, and my great grandfather to fight the vietnamese. They were handed guns but they ran away when the khmer rouge leader wasn't looking. They ran for the vietnamese troop with a sort of white rag to avoid being shot, god bless the young vietnamese solider who didnt shoot my family and let them through. They gave my family food,water, which was little but better than whatever they've recieved. My family always spook highly of the vietnamese who invaded cambodia to overthrow the khmer rouge. But many other khmer families harbored hatred of the vietnamese because they think them of invaders who took our landed and kill our people. I don't see it as such because it was "our people (khmer rouge" who killed over 1 million of khmer people and when the vietnamese come they came to get rid of the killer of our kind. God bless every single family who went through this, the young men and women who fought and die who didn't have to die.
More than 30,000 Vietnamese soldiers died in Cambodia, including my father. To this day, my family still does not know where my father's body is. Because of the war with the Khmer Rouge, Vietnamese people lost nearly 50% of their budget. defense policies and countless embargoes and criticisms.

Now I see why there is always debate between these two countries.
Please calm down buddies , history has been written and cannot be reversed.

From what I saw , Vietnam was good
and prosperous under communist party and its people are supportive.
Not even like China.
Good for you guys.
Prosperous my ass. I have no idea what media you were feeding on, but most Vietnamese are poor, ignorant, and they always have to submit to the state's oppression. What you see on the media is a small group of middle class in the one famous big city in Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon. People have to live with this state's oppression and get used to it because they cannot do anything about it. Systematic corruption from the political machine to the local government's office next door. It's horrible.

Cambodia's history today needs to be clearly written about the genocide that the Khmer Rouge have caused in Cambodia. America, China and some Southeast Asian countries have helped the genocides kill more than 2 million Cambodians. a shame they are trying to forget. At that time, Cambodia was like a hell, but no one, no country came to save this poor nation. only Vietnam, a country that has just escaped the war with the US. Vietnam saved this country. I think these journalists made this film to smear Vietnam. That's wrong, in 2018 the international court sentenced the killers in Cambodia. Young people need to be educated so that they understand who is the killer and who abets them, and they need to be grateful to those who have helped them in difficult times.
Vietnam only let go of Cambodia after the UN forced them to.

@@weaseltheweasel302 you are wrong. Vietnam planned to withdraw its troops in 1982 after helping the Cambodian government rebuild the country. but the Cambodian government asked Vietnam to keep its forces because they could not afford to run the country against the Khmer Rouge genocides who were gathering forces near the Thai border at that time. Vietnam then agreed to withdraw gradually and completely in 1989. During that time, Vietnam both helped Cambodia fight Polpot and helped them build a strong army. Vietnam has helped rebuild the houses of the people that have been destroyed, and supported Cambodia to rebuild its economy and operate the state. It can be said that everything Cambodia has today is thanks to Vietnam's help. If there was no Vietnam, only with genocide and its madness, today Cambodia would be zero.

May all their souls are in heaven, except the KHMER ROUGES themselves that their souls were condemned to ETERNITY. Their are 9 siblings in my family, i lost 2 sisters and 3 brothers. My father was a doctor in his late 70's, had nothing to do with politics, only help people and delivered babies. But the animals KHMRE ROUGE killed both my parents anyway.

(12:00) Landmines in rice fields.
I remember an Australian man, some 20 years after this was filmed, who made prosthetic limbs (as an act of charity) for those who survived their injuries from the minefields of Cambodia.
Some of them were kids, injured long after the war had finished.
I live in PP - they train rats now to sniff out the Lord knows how many mines that are still here. There's videos on YT about them.
@@DangerfieldChris Thanks for sharing that.
It prompted me to do a bit of reading.
Mid last year, Magawa, the award winning Tanzanian born rat (the size of a small dog) retired from the job.
He's too old!
Anyone/thing who retires from sniffing out lamdmines due to old age, has my utmost respect 😁👍‼️

Awesome video👏
My mum is 45 years old and she told me that her dad sadly died in this war when she was only a baby. She doesn’t feel sad about it because she never knew what her dad was like. She had to move to Austrailia because thats the closest country near Cambodia. And now I’m alive and I was born in Australia.
I am sorry her dad died in the war. I am glad your mom survived to have you in the democratic government of Australia. So you can both live your lives in peace.
"was born in Australia"
lucky you
Many of the Khmers emigrated to the U.S told me the same. Their family members were killed by the Khmer Rouges. They fled from Cambodia at that time

My parents ended up teaching at Kent State in the Fall of 1970 the US government bombed Cambodia Christmas time 1969. Students protested spring 1970. Thirteen were shot at Kent State.
A small sacrifice compared to the peoples of Southeast Asia but I grew up there among the reptiles of Ohio.
As Chomsky noted the mass murderer from the bombings in eastern Cambodia mass recruited the survivors to the Khmer Rouge. Caleb Maupin was pointing out that the CIA use the Khmer rouge against the Vietnamese government.

I love your video
the situation being Before the Khmer Rouge Regime makes me more even sentimental about this film. Keep faith and hope Cambodia. May peace kept in Cambodia and Democracy prevail and all Corruptions demolished.
basically, this is not my data
The previous Cambodian regime hated Vietcong because they refused to leave their country. Therefore, their king allowed the US to bomb their country to drive Vietcong away, which made a part of the people angry and joined Polpot and took power from the king.
But Polpot hated Vietcong and wanted to take back southern Vietnam the clay of their once empire, that's why they invaded their former lands first and chased and killed the existing Vietnamese capitalists, which has been there from the early days of Indochina... or those who fled the Vietnamese communists. They also massacred intellectuals out of fear of potential subversion from Western intellectuals and opponents. In short, a great genocide...
The hate in this video came from the previous time where the king still remain there as described in the video's description
"Three months ago Cambodia was invaded by the American and Vietnamese armies" -> Bombing?
@@arie1906 all your facts are correct except for the fact that king sihanouk did not give america permission to bomb cambodia. the americans did that unilaterally without cambodia's permission. that is why it is called the illegal bombings

Historically, both China and Vietnam supported Khmer Rouge at the early stage.
But before it came to rule Cambodia, pro-Vietnam members were purged when Vietnam sided with Soviet, while Khmer Rouge chose China in the Sino-Soviet Split. Vietnam could not control that and get betrayed.

# Thus, the people in those 3 countries must safeguard their peace, stable environment, prosperity TOGETHER, UNITED.
because the trios countries were under the French rules for over a century!!!. Only Thailand did not suffer the same fate, because their former King sided with the super power America to prevent the invasion of France to his country. What happened at that time? The Japanese were invading Vietnam, Lao and Cambodia, so everyone were scramble to sided with the super power. Only the Thais were so smart and evade any wars since then.

@@Monstacheeks nah the khmer Rouge were people who were being discriminated against cause why else would they do that
Nah you gotta thank the prime minister since he isn't a Maoist ideologist. The problem is the ideology within the party. Maybe you don't understand communism I suggest picking up Karl Marx book if you are into philosophy. The Khmer Rouge were just Maoists that trained the ethnic Chong to fight. So pretty much the Chong got their revenge cause in the Khmer history there was incident between the Khmer and the ethnic chong I believe in 1700s or 1800s. They fled to Thailand near the Thai and Khmer border.
I was on the Cambodian border { Parrot's Beak} in 71 with an American 2 man advisory team and 100 Cambodian soldiers { being trained] . The Cambodian and Vietnamese in the South have been fighting for centuries but this war went far into Cambodian. I also knew a 15 yr. old Vietnamese teenager that was fighting for a year and was hit twice { 1970 }. On his 16th birthday we had a party for him , since now , legally, he had to officially join the ARVN Army. He went into the ARVN Rangers at 16 . He was from Moc Hoa , Vn. on the border.
Anyone know if Neil Davis shot any of this footage?

Strange that Cambodians speak English quite well, and unaccented, compared to their ethnically-similar Thai brothers and sisters.

Feel so sad for all the people got effected during that period,
Thame TV........ Your documentary lack in describe the year (s) of the time lines.....
I will never forget my trip to Cambodia it was so much fun lol
These people in the comment are so ignorant. This was filmed in 1970, the late Vietnam War, 5 years before the Fall of Saigon and Phnom Penh, 5 years before the Khmer Rouge genocide of Cambodians and Vietnamese, 8 years before the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, 9 years before the Sino-Vietnamese War, 9 years before Vietnamese border conflict with Thailand. This was filmed during the Cambodian Civil War and after the overthrow of Sihanouk's monarchy.
Thank you so much, people do not understand the time frames.

He even partly witnessed a rape incident committed by the Vietnamese troop in Cambodia. The man was brought deep into the jungle and shot dead for doing so. The top brass told everyone to be quiet about this incident.

It's not objective. 7:53 I believe they are obviously lying about what the boy says. He clearly and unambiguously says his age is "ayu pram dap" - literally "age five ten", which means 15. They lie in English that he is 14. If he said fourteen that would be "ayu buen dap", that is a very different sound, cannot be confused. I think this discredits the trustworthiness of this Thames TV documentary and Thames TV as a whole. I think they are trying to make it look like he is more minor than he actually is.
As a Buddhist country they will have the right spirit to continue to grow, accept the challenges and live their best live together in peace. Even with such big gaps between rich and poor. My country doesnt have many shopping centres ... PP alone has at least 4 or 5.... and not just Chinese sponsored.... AEON is Japanese....and they have AEON 1, 2 AND 3....
Nationalism is the key to creating and promoting a political party. War is nothing but a rich man fighting against each other. Hungry money driven but after the war ends whoever win or lose there is always problem within.

That young girls speaks unbelievably well.
Pol Pot and his inner circle were trained by the French communist party when they were young studying in France. The holocaust they perpetrated came right out of Mao's book on revolution-empty the cities, kill all the educated, create a socialist hell and destroy a country. Other Khmer Rouge were trained by Ho Chi Minh's communist party in North Vietnam. They have no regrets for what they did. The leaders at the KR trial in Phnom Penh proved that. Place the blame where it belongs-on the communist policy of Mao, Pol Pot, and Ho Chi Minh. I was there in the Vietnam War-the communists ruled by terror, torture, and violent assassination of South Vietnamese school teachers, village , and SVN administrators. That fact is glossed over in schools so the young don't know the real truth of the war. the co van
So thankful for your absolute correct info.

my friend from Ba Chuc has mother who lives throught the massacre Ba Chuc.She often told me about the horrible things Khmer Rough had done in the massacre, talking about her hatred for Pol Pot and the countries that supported Pol Pot, especially America and China, she said it was hard to forgive them... tolerating and abetting a bloody genocide.
“China supported the Khmer Rouge during the 1970-1975 war and was the sole critical supporter throughout the 1975-1979 Democratic Kampuchea period of genocide
it is a fact that the vietcong intruded into a neutral cambodia and brought war to the country
another fact is that america illegally bombed cambodia to try and dislodge the viet cong but ended up killing cambodians and distabilising the country instead
the vietnamese and americans should have never been in cambodia

I visited Cambodia in 2004. And found the people to be wonderful and kind and desperately poor. My God help the people of Cambodia.
The sad thing about this video is that the worst was yet to come... I wonder how many of these soldiers survived the Khmer Rouge...
A revealing question .... Who supported Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge to the bitter end ?
# First, it's China - Directing, encouraging and supporting them to wipe Cambodia clean of Cambodians, making it ready for Chinese advisors, soldiers, workers, and settlers to flood in and turn it into another XinJiang (a China's conquered province)
# Next, USA - Supporting and using Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge (plus prodding Deng XiaoPing's China) to exact revenge on the Vietnamese who had dared to shoot down their B52s and kick the American new colonialists who were taking on the mantle of the French old colonialists, out of their country Vietnam
# Then, Thailand, Singapore, .... - Lackeys following orders from the USA (and from China's in the case of Singapore)
# Lastly, UK, Australia, .... - USA's vassals.

At the very beginning, the communist Khmer of Cambodia, the Pathet Lao of Lao, and the Communist North Vietnam all agreed that the French and the United States need to be out of Indochina and they all support one another. But Pol Pot mistrust the Communist Vietnamese and began to betrayed them. The alliance was broken between Communist Khmer and Communist North Vietnam.

You are wrong!!!!!!!! the bombing in Cambodia was not in 1975!!!!! it was in 1969 or 70, i don't remember. The ousting of Sihanouk was the best thing that the Cambodians did at that time. You are either too young or hasn't borne yet. His Royals entourages were so corrupted, money was the only thing they think of. He was ready to sell his country to China, luckily we kicked him out in time. Did you Know that we lost the war to Pop Pot because of him? at first Lon Nol's army won lots of battles, but Lon Nol party also had lots of bad people that stole soldier's money. so the morals were low, then Sihanouk broad casts from N. Vietnam & Peking to have all youths raised against Lon Nol. That was how we lost the war to POl Pot. Later Sihanouk shamelessly returned to Cambodia but Hun Sen he was & still is a KR. only give him his title as the Puppet King!!!!!!!!! i never forgive Sihanouk for this, may all the suffering and deaths of all Cambodians haunt his soul to Eternity, may he never rest in peace or reborn to any human!!!!. Your opinion sounds like you are also part of the L. wing!!
The girl who speaks at the end is just so sad to listen to.

they’re talking about how the vietcongs known as “VCs” in the video, came to invade so they all have to be fully trained in armed force to survive and also to protect the country
Cảm ơn vì thông tin của bạn nhé !
@@jiaxqisun5384có dịp các bạn hãy đến Việt Nam du lịch, nơi đây sẽ đón chào mọi người, nơi không còn chiến tranh, nơi chúng tôi chỉ yêu hoà bình ❤❤❤
makes me so sad watching this. all these young people had their life and youth taken away from them. war is so tragic
cambodians should make sure this never happens ever again. we must be strong, we must be smart and we must develop rapidly.
cambodia needs to become no 1 in asia. that is the mentality we need. we must win at all costs so foreigners can never meddle in our affairs again.
long live the khmai nation and civilisation
I, personally, don't think so.
Cambodia cannot afford a stable and independent politics position.
Cambodian governments ( Pol pot, Sihanouk and now Hunsen) are easily provoked by ultranationalism about Khmer Empire and manipulated due to its over-dependence on other countries, specifically China.
Now they have multiple parties, surely the situation would get worse. Foreign forces would use parties to affect Cambodia politics. The ultranationalism and over-dependence mentality of Khmer would be exploited to destabilize Cambodia in domestic society and provoke conflicts in foreign affairs.
China did use Khmer wisely under Pol pot regime to befriend with America, destabilize Vietnam and confront with the Soviet. Deng Xiaoping successfully made the relationship with America by helping Pol Pot.
No wonder China will use Cambodia again in the near future for its plan to replace America as world super power. But Vietnam that time surely will not help, and watch China turn you guys into hell for its benefit
Vietnam is not alone now, and would only defense ourselves, not intervine into Cambodia whatsoever
Hunsen has betrayed Vietnam and followed China as Pol Pot did, sold Sihanoukville, Ream base and coast line to China.
Singapore and many other countries have proposed to kick Cambodia out Asean as it is easily manipulated by foreign forces against the whole community benefits.
@@quangnguyenduc62 what with your problem with Cambodia? Seriously back off
@@jemappllesphan6143 I have no problem with Cambodia and sincerely respect your nation's thirst for development. Just some personal thoughts about current Cambodia geopolitical issues.
I hope Cambodia would be stable, independent, not provoked by ultranationalism and live in harmony with its neighbors
@@quangnguyenduc62 thôi ngồi đợi chờ thêm Tỉnh mới 😂😂 nói nhiều làm gì ( làm xong mới nói )
Cambodia has been cursed with very bad incompetent leadership. I mean, Sam rainsy and khem sokha are the only hope for cambodia? Seriously? They're no different than hun sen. Cambodia not only needs to develop, but now, needs to find a way to loosen china's grip on the political level. If only Cambodia could develop self-sustainably, as they did during the angkorian Era. I also feel racism is a big problem for khmer people. Our perspectives need to be broaden and our thinking needs to be more progressive. I feel khmer people really lack these qualities which both the thais and vietnamese possess.
Anyone know, (not assume) if this girl survived the war? I'm a Cambodian/Khmer scholar, so I know the historical likelihood of her presumed fate. The great modernity of the Internet should make it feasible to find out, so I know many of us viewers would really appreciate knowing what became of her.
she is alive and currently living in america. you can look through the comment section and see a few of her comments and responses.
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 That warms my heart. I'm glad she survived.
watch the movie first they killed my father
@@haridunk6312 it's a good movie. Not great, but I've watched it twice.
No war! I hope Cambodian people have peace
Polpot là người lai gốc Hoa(china) không phải người campuchia thuần chủng.
Campuchia thuần chủng phải Mắt To Đen,Tóc xoăn.
Cuối cùng người Khmer bị người Trung Quốc chi phối.
Living in Wellington New Zealand I met a taxi driver who told me that the Khmer Rouge had murdered most of her family, very sad.
I have never met a Cambodian after the demised of the KR were out that any Cambodians did not loose any member of their family. Unless they were and are the Khmer rouge themselves!!!!!!!
@@kanarykim352 You sound like a holocaust denier
Knowing what was to come and historical facts, it is easy to see the propaganda spin of this report. With that knowledge I watch current reports on the war in Ukraine with a real pinch of salt.
What happened later?
USA and allies has opposed Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia and helped the Rouge Khmer hold seat in the United Nations, China continue to give weapons to them at the same time invaded the North, but Vietnamese is Vietnamese, in the future when the Western media erased the history of this liberation, Cambodian descendants may be ungrateful to Vietnam, but we never regret opening that military operation.
What suffering? Cambodia Khmer Rouge massacred Vietnamese civilians at Ba Chuc Vietnam, mercilessly. That is not suffering?
Sad😔 I have friends from Cambodia🇰🇭 and they lost friends to terrorist forces
The communist/vc they're talking about are they Vietnamese or Khmer Rouge?
Cổng Sản và Việt Cộng là Việt Nam 🇻🇳
Communist Vietnamese
At that time it was the Viet Cong who invaded Cambodia
An impressive and intelligent young Khmer girl joined the Army to help defend the Khmer motherland. We had the courage and ability among the populace, even back then, but lack the competent leadership at the top to lead them. Shame. Hopefully that we will never be put in this position ever again.
Hi Boran, this is Sithanary Kim, the girl in the interview. We were not forced to join the army, we were just training the Commando tactics that the leader of our country implement to all the high schooler in Cambodia to practice to prepare themselves in case we were needed to recruit to the army. This is the first time that i really saw the video of my self after being recorded since 1970. Thank you for your support and peace to you , your family and our country Cambodia.
Boran, i got your message, i am now being confined due to i caught covid last week, i wll contact you with more chat. Thank you, Sithanary
@@kanarykim352 thank you for your services back then, Oum Srey
@@andrwlw2778 thank you so much.
@@kanarykim352very glad to hear you made it out alive !
How sad for that jewel in the jungle.
I am wondering if the interviewed girl still alive today
I am still alive, Sithanary Kim
That 19 year old girl encapsulates the tragedy and horror of it all. What a waste ! How such an idealistic, intelligent person was dragged into the quagmire of the Indochinese conflict. Her naivety is also a reflection of the typical attitude of well to do Khmers of the time. 1970 was the year when Lon Nol's coup d'etat began Cambodia's tragic decline into destruction and misery. If only they'd known at the time that the real villains who would eventually bring them hell were not the Vietcong but their own radicalized compatriots, the Khmer Rouge.
I think the date is wrong or something... The Vietnamese didn't actually go into Cambodia until 1978, so idk who are the enemies they are talking about??
@@alexfriedman2047 No, you are wrong. The Vietnamese- both the US backed South and the North- did indeed invade Cambodia after the 1970 Lon Nol coup. The US bombing and brief incursion of ground troops into Cambodia led to the North Vietnamese/Vietcong, who up until then were only in the border areas, to push further into the country. It was these North Vietnamese who aided the Khmer Rouge and did the majority of the fighting in the early phases of the war in Cambodia.
The Vietnamese (by then unified under the north) invaded Cambodia again in 1979 to overthrow Pol Pot and remained for the next ten years.
@@Monatio79 On second thought you might be right. They are not dressed in the uniforms that the Khemer Rouge wore. Very interesting. It was just minor skermishes though. It wasn't a full scale ground invasion by any side, although we did bomb the f outa cambodia because of the HoChiMin trail.
@@Monatio79 The Khmer Rouge were originally communist and were allies of Vietnam at that time. They allowed Vietnam to use Cambodian land to move called the Ho Chi Minh trail. But after internal conflicts The party's soldier, Polpot, destroys those who think against him , Since then, the Khmer Rouge became 1 organization according to sterilityism with the ideology of Mao Zedong. 1974-1978 Red Khome was pulled by China and the US behind the strings to destroy the border and kill hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese people. 1978 Vietnam was forced to attack again and destroy Ponpot 1979. The United Nations then accused Vietnam of invading Cambodia and then the United Nations tried the Khmer Rouge for genocide
@@Monatio79 1981 Khmer Rouge they declared no longer Marx - Lenin
What's a brave girl! Really good English. Most educated people speak French during that time.
the killing is read. The question is who created pol pot is it Sihanouk?or the enemy we hate the most? And why are we lost so much live and destructive?
Who created P Pot? . It was Sihanouk that made this group formed in order to fight against him. There were so much corruptions and un fairness in societies that these K.R ware formed. Lon Nol just going up against the damp that is already broken. Sihanouk? at the time, he is in big China, with 4 chefs, house with a swimming pool, a tennis court & all the luxuries you can think of, while his million's people suffered under the cruelty of P.Pot's. So Cambodia lost the war to P.Pot because Sihanouk wants the power back & conspired with the K Rouge & broadcasted days & nights with Peking radio stations and the N. Vietnamese stations, creating chaos & have children argue with parents, create distrust between the Khmers themselves. That is when soldiers left Lon Nol's troops & join the K Rouge & won that damned war. May both P.Pot & Sihanouk's souls MAY NOT REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the very girl in this footage, i was there, flesh & blood & witness the whole charade.
I know my grandpa was in the war he survived but his friend did not his friend got shot my grandpa is still alive he’s in his 60s
“Sihanourk” was ALL TO BLAME!!!
