Cambodia and its people were left scarred by the Khmer Rouge regime and the effects can still be felt. Two older people from rural Cambodia speak about their personal experiences and the impact on their lives.
A s h e r .o. My great grandma and grandpa got shoved into a white van while their children where watching and they never saw there children again they got killed
I have been to Cambodia a few times and I find the people the nicest and happiest anywhere in the world . Yes my fiancé is Cambodian so I’m a bit biased
@AmarNathan It called the Cambodian genocide, from 1.5 - 3 million Cambodian and Vietnamese were killed by the Khmer Rouge regime under the leadership of Pol Pot.
The only reason the Vietnamese invaded was because the Khmer Rouge kept attacking the Vietnamese across their border. Whilst they were a lot better than the Khmer Rouge, they also treated many Cambodians poorly, sadly rapes and murders were commonplace. Remember that both the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese were communists and did not believe in personal freedom (unless you were in the party leadership). Both were far worse than the corrupt Lon Nol government that proceeded them.
@@matthewmoses4222 Poor fucking guy, Vietnamese forces defeated the Khmer Rouge made some people sad including you. So you fabricated information that they committed crimes against Cambodians. While no rich country could save the Cambodian from genocide. Only the Vietnamese army came to the rescue.
broke my heart till now lok yang and lok dar I hope u feel better no more cry be happy and healthy long life forgive and forget about pass pol pot killed my father family too
I can't believe the pain or the trauma that these people had to go through.Im disgusted that CAMBODIA has not been compensated from the UN and the rest of us.we owe it to the victims and their families.Marxism is evil.This is the result,
for rest of the world it was a communist regime , at that time the world didn’t know what was happening inside khmer rule, only after 1979 everything was being uncovered of the crimes khmer did, back in those days there was no tech, no social media,no human rights watch, basically hard to know.
As the people still don’t have education access, they will just serve as they were called by 3 side to fight among themselves. First side was monarchy’s king. Seconds was called democracy people of Cambodia the republic Thirds side were called commune the people of liberation. Others were anarchy and agrarchy or agrarian of people. As Khmer people didn’t have education access they served as being called them to fight. As the people who didn’t side anyone, they were killed by Khmer Rouge which they were called the enemies of Angkar. I feel sorry for the people who died by the idiots communes party who didn’t understand what communes mean. They always considering themselves fight to restore monarchy for king of Cambodia. Khmer people still don’t understand which side they want to live their life.
It is traditional Bunong (indigenous group) Cambodian music recorded at a harvest celebration in Srae Mouenthang Village in Ratanakiri province, that has been remixed with some electronic music.
