Why the Khmer Rouge Po Chrey Massacre Was Worse Than We Thought 

There are not enough tears on this whole earth that can measure for the grief that all victims suffered.

The Cambodian people are so strong and resilient. Peace and love to Cambodia and its people.

This is the most chilling documentary of a mass killing I have ever seen.

This is the video true story of my loss husband 1975 at Pursath city.My husband one of innocent person in the world .He was a PM help people to protection and save people. THis is the first time hear and see the true sinece 1975 - Sunday 4-11 - 2012 He was 29years, However, he rest in heaven now ,but I alway miss him forever.See you in heaven my dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great documentary. I'm too scared to ask my mum the whole story as u can never heal from this! She lived in one of the worst hit town with the regime, of like 100000 people only like 1000 survived! She had like 15 sibling, they died during the regime and her parents were taken away and murdered. I am so lucky to be born in Australia

This hurts... this just hurts me

There’s no depth to which humans won’t fall when given total power.

Tomorrow is the sad anniversary of the Khmer Rouge coming to power (April 17) everyone - say a prayer this never happens again. And say a prayer for those we lost.

Well produced informative Video and best of all, very profesional production.No ridiculous music spoiling the narratives well done thank you.

im half cambodian, and my mom mentioned something about the war, i didnt know much about it, i didnt expect it to be that bad

The "ex" Khmer Rouge does NOT sound particularly rependent to me though I doubt the Khmer Rouge could repent enough to cleanse their souls (which they didn't have to begin with)

Love to Cambodia from Greece. My Grandpa was tortured to death by the British soldiers who invaded our homes and land in Cyprus in the 1950s. My grandmother survived but she had to run to escape rape and torture and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. And my family still can't find our Uncle and Aunty?! Taken as children by the British and Turkish soldiers. I know that some Americans and British and Turkey people had nothing to do with the war in Cyprus Greece, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards them. And I'm not here to offend any one, or promote hatred. I just want the world to know and understand the truth about what the UK and US and Turkey has done in Greece. To day the British soldiers wear peacekeeping uniforms to conceal their war crimes in Cyprus Greece. Imagine visiting family home and having British terrorists and British war criminals in peacekeeping uniforms telling you that you can't be here. Start a new life with nothing. We are now forced refugees scattered across the globe. I couldn't even have Easter with my family. Soon most of my family will be dead and I don't even have family photo's. Because NATO, British and the Turkish stole our belongings our homes.

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sad this happened. And that Army General is/was well aware of the situation. and had the nerve to laugh... god will handle him...

My family is a survivor of this BS. Luckily, America took us in. However, we came to a country that we know nothing off. The culture, language, what do we have to do to survive? They dropped us off in the middle of the hood in Stockton, CA. We were robbed, beaten, etc. Life was very hard. I joined a gang to survive, I became a gangster not by choice but to survive. We stole from the stores, we didn't steal stuff to resale but food. I don't even wanna talk about it anymore. This shit was all round messed up. Genocide!!!

Grandpa knows a lot more about tying people up than seems normal. Seems, like a lot of older country folks in Cambodia, he was more involved than he is letting on.

There are indicators of impending genocide, seven to be exact. Sadly until these crimes are put in our face, then we may avoid such tragic actions against the innocent.

The guy in the end is lying, you can tell because of the way he rapidly closes an opens his eyes when answering about his knowledge of the killings. Furthermore, he had given a contradictory statement one year before. He is just trying to save his neck for possible retaliation from the victims' relatives or even an eventual trial, which is happening right now.

In different videos, I remembered that this Nuon Chea guy was sentenced to life imprisonment. But, apparently, he was still free in a 2006 interview in this video.

Thet Sambath who is the journalist conducting the interviews did a documentary called Enemies of the People that is him sitting down with the older gent at the end of this and interviewing him after developing a 5 yr relationship with him in an attempt to get the most honest answers without revealing his personal past involving the Khmer Rouge. Great doc to watch since that guy is the real Brother Number Two

My husband spirit is in heaven now ,I known ,because I have dream about his all the times .We were so verry young on that time.

Please tell me more these part the story is my husband place that known Polpot killed him.I want to know more .i realy want to know that is the truth story about my husband please give me phon number .....thankyou

The lack of humanity just absolutely astonishing

Amazing documentary thank you for sharing

Journeyman Pictures are a good show and document. Po Srey still alive in 2012. Just 8 years ago. He went unpunished. He lives 22 years more after Khmer Rough collapsed in 1979. Most fomer KherRough soldiers went unpunished. Even in 2020 they are still around. I know Pol Pot died in 1998 at the age of 73-75. Noun Chea and Ta Mok are also the worse murderers. 12,723 victims died at Kook Toul Sleng. Only about 21 of them survived after 1979. Pol Pot and Khmer Rough committed the genocide in Cambodian history. in 2020 Cambodia is stable and more peaceful. Economy is growing at about 9-10% annually. Peace to my fellow countrymen. Khmer Rough uniforms are black shirts, black pants and black or grey caps. They wore shoes made out of car tires. Their favorite weapons are AK-47. Chinese supported Khmer Rough. They even fought Vietnamese in 1979.

Thank you ..You Tube ...for the video .

good documentary about khmer rouge to show young generation to know about this past

this would be a little less disturbing if these guys didn't tell the stories so nostalgically, and try to hide the smirks.

J'ai vécu cette période, je les ai vues et entendues cette événement tragique. Merci de votre courage de faire la recherche pour trouver la vérité de cette drame..Que ses esprits soient en paix....

Thank you for this. No words.

The contrast is mind-boggling. A land so beautiful, a paradise on earth, to become a hell unrivaled in evil...

This is a very shortened version, the full video shows this absolute Hero & how he ended up getting him to admit it & getting the army to land in helicopters & take all of them into custody.

Why the interviewer never asks why they were killed and who gave the order?? Why the one soldier had fear to try to ask to save his unlce and his daughter? How were the circumstances? Nothing has been made clear.

Great documental video. Mixed feelings about the nationals that carried out the killing on their own people!

It makes me fucking sick to watch Nuon Chea sit there and say he had no idea what was happening.

I like to think that the smiling and laughing is an East Asian thing when people are nervous when talking about a tough subject. But there's always that thing in the back of my mind that's considering whether they're really laughing and smiling about the atrocities that they've probably taken part in.

Thank for the uploaded documentation of the khmer rouge !!!

I find it hard that although this man ' a witness of these dead bodies' had enough time to notice how the dead where tied up, seemingly ran away after noticing the dead men possibly women, was he covering his own tracks by revealing his implications in the atrocities. Just saying.

Som akun Thet Sambath for exposing these crimes to the world by making these videos. Justice may have to come in the after-life for the Khmer Rouge (or whatever they are calling themselves now). The world has much shame for refusing to help the Cambodian people.

I just got back from Cambodia, such a sad place......still developing but those 4 years set them back 50 years...

I still can't accept why Kissinger is still alive. Maybe Devils have a longer life.

This type of system is being jammed into the minds of American children in a subtle way. It is only a mattered time before something as horrific happens here in America. This documentary should be shown in schools, not the constant hatred of our country and it’s history.

Such a beautiful country sad that it’s been ruined by the horrible atrocities there Hopefully in time everything and everyone will heal

I'm so sorry mam. He's resting peacefully now though, its good to know your being strong!

We must forever remember this terrible time of' Man's Inhumanity Towards Man.'...

playing with decapitated head and still enjoing must be sick thanks for sharring this horrible massacre all death rest in peace

Those last two biological entities embody the "banality of evil".💀

The fact that all those Khmer Rouge leader claimed they didn’t know why were people executed and who’s the commander behind the action was unsettling knowing the regime was originally created by the VietCong yet Pol Pot the new leader hate Vietnam

What a great and revealing documentary.

The world is more terrifying than I thought...

He sure knew exactly how they tied everyone up. Jesus

GOD sees everything and no one will escape of his justice, amen. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

How everyone smiles and chuckles. Humanity is...a trip.

How evil must you be when someone is describing how some "civilians" dressed up in military clothes were taken along with the real soldiers to be killed, and you actually LAUGH @23:55 and have to try hard to contain your amusement and pleasure of this fact??? That killing 1,000s of INNOCENT people, AND WOMEN, was somehow FUNNY? Sick af, literally. These people have mental issues, likely involving being psychopathy, including traits of lacking remorse, guilt or empathy, and manipulative, dishonest narcissism. All those involved in these massacre had to have these traits at some level. It's not a funny conversation. Those aren't the appropriate emotions to have when discussing this, but they cannot help themselves--they literally amused by the events. SCARY AF.

The pain of the survivors is generational

In video “The last interview with Pol Pot (English Subtitles )”, missalaneous11 says (about Pol Pot) "Classic Narcissist" - I reply # Wish you could read my Vietnamese comment; I too believe Pol Pot was struck with Narcissism (hope I understand the meaning of “Narcissism” correctly!). I also mention that China’s Expansionist Rulers like Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing knew this and made full use of it. They thus praised Pol Pot and extolled him to the sky, with flying phrases like “Comrade, your Cambodian Revolution is Top of the World!”, “Comrade, we Chinese Revolutionaries admire your Cambodian Revolution so much, and we must learn from it!”, etc. # Now, except among his closed circle of Khmer-Rouge top-cadres, Pol Pot was a nobody from a small, backward country that was Cambodia, with about 7 millions people (before the MaoZedong-DengXiaoPing-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-executing genocide) # On the other hand, the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing were notorious top-leaders of the most populous country in the world, that was China, with 1000 millions people. # Even US president Richard Nixon had to come seeking audience and help from them # Unknown Pol Pot from little Cambodia being praised to the sky by the notorious like Mao ZeDong and DengXiaoPing; this must have made Pol Pot feel he’s top of the world, invincible! # But of course, the praises to Pol Pot from the likes of Mao ZeDong and Deng XiaoPing, and China’s Expansionist Rulers, were like those of the Fox to the Crow in “The Fox and the Crow” fable; or the prodding flattery for the Frog that wants to be as big as a Cow in “The Frog and the Cow” fable. # After the praises and extolments came the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique to “kill all enemies within”, gradually expanding to perpetrate the most heinous genocide of the Cambodian people. # That is the Internal Part. The aim is to wipe Cambodia clean of the Cambodian population, ready Cambodia for Deng XiaoPing’s Chinese advisers, troops and eventually settlers to flood in. # As for the External Part, the advice, direction and orchestration by China’s Expansionist Rulers for the Pol Pot clique are to wage war on Vietnam, and perpetrate the most barbaric atrocities on the Vietnamese civilians. # According to China-Rulers’ calculations, in waging war against Vietnam, Pol Pot would eventually loose for sure, and Pol Pot’s troops severely depleted. # Once the China-Rulers-scheming-and-directing-PolPot-executing Cambodian genocide has been successful (for China’s Expansionist Rulers), and Pol Pot’s troops have been so severely depleted and Pol Pot was on the brink of defeat in the war with Vietnam, Pol Pot would surely called out to China’s Rulers for help to prop up his Khmer Rouge regime. # That was when China’s Rulers would flood the empty Cambodia with their advisers, troops, and eventually colonizers, and turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan), but without any Cambodians left. # That was China-Expansionist-Rulers’ vile scheming and calculations for Cambodia and Vietnam. ====================================== Dear Viewer - I’ll try to translate my comment below into English (and hopefully other languages as well, especially Khmer) later. But for now, it’s in Vietnamese. # Essentially, it’s the evil scheming and direction for the Pol-Pot clique by China’s Expansionist Rulers (notably Deng XiaoPing and Mao ZeDong) to wipe out the whole Cambodian people, so as to make Cambodia ready for Chinese advisers, troops and colonizers to flood in, and thus turn Cambodia into another Xin-Jiang (East Turkestan) but without any Cambodian left. According to DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers’ calculations, this would happen once the DengXiaoPing-MaoZeDong-ChinaRulers-directing-PolPot-excecuting genocide had wiped Cambodia clean of the Cambodian people, and the ChinaRulers-instigating-PolPot-excecuting war with Vietnam had depleted Pol Pot’s troops to the point he’d have to call out publicly to China’s Rulers for sending troops (and advisers, workers, etc.) in for help to keep his regime alive. # Mong các Bạn thông cảm cho lời yêu cầu nầy nhé!

Ý đồ thâm độc đó là: # Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình tâng bốc, xúi giục Pôn Pốt (Pol Pot), Iêng Sary không tiếc lời, không ngượng miệng, như “Cách mạng Campuchia của các Đồng chí là nhất thế giới”, “Chúng tôi phải học tập Cách mạng của các Đồng chí”, … Là thân phận nhỏ mọn từ một đất nước nhỏ nghèo, nay được Lãnh tụ nổi tiếng của nước đông dân nhất thế giới tâng bốc, bơm thổi, Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary trở nên nghông cuồng tin là mình vô địch, thật sự là cao siêu (dính bệnh “Cuồng vĩ”, giống Narcissism). # Nhưng đó là những lời khen giống của con Cáo khen con Quạ trong một chuyện ngụ ngôn, hay chuyện con Ếch muốn to bằng con Bò. # Sau lời khen là xúi giục (như Cáo xúi Quạ, làm Quạ nhả miếng phô-mát cho Cáo) và chỉ đạo, trong nước thì Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary tiến hành “Cách mạng” Diệt chủng, bên ngoài thì tấn công tàn sát dã man nhân dân Việt Nam. # Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình xúi, chỉ đạo Pôn Pốt, Iêng Sary tiến hành “Cách mạng” Diệt chủng, dĩ nhiên là để “dọn trống chổ” cho người của Mao Trạch Đông và Đặng Tiểu Bình tràn ngập vào thay thế, trước hết là cố vấn, sau đến lính, và cuối cùng là dân định cư.

I wondered how the Ex Khmer rouge soldiers and his family life now after being psychopath for so many years . Pretending they knew nothing about the killing .

I was home sick in bed, did not see or speak to anyone all day! Very common in the killing field era!

I met Sambath. Very humble man.

I’m a child of a genocide survivors . My brother in law was an educated man professor in Phnom phen til this days hes parent and siblings were all educated people . One days , Pol Pot invite their families as only for a general meeting since then that was the last smile that he’s remember of he’s families until this days he never knew or where they were killed or not even seen their bones . My father was lucky enough to escape from the perpetrators they were looking for my parent but somehow we manage to flees in the middle of the night. Whenever I saw these moments I feel deep through my bones like it still yesterday .

How Can those killers sleep at night

Wow it amazing how I can understand my own language khmer! But I cant speak it! What a shame!

What song is playing at 6:10 ?

Can`t watch this. OMG

I had no idea about decomosing sound until now.

Love to Cambodia…😢❤️ especially the mothers who had their babies slaughtered right infront of them…from one mother to another. I sobbed when I learned of the baby trees….

There’s a sense of deep feelings that this man isn’t telling the truth. He’s the Khmer Rouge leader. It would be impossible for him not know. He must’ve give the soldiers order to kill those innocent people

If Nixon and kissenger was not guilty. I don't see why KR guilty

I look at my parents and my entire family that lived through this horrific part of our history with absolute amazement. When my mother and father talk about what they went through I can still hear the sadness in their voices. To do this to your own people....your own countryman is just unfathomable to me. My parents and my family....We are just one, of many more Cambodians that have their own story to tell. Edit: I don't understand how these people can sit there and speak so coldly about their role in the deaths of so many innocent people.... Especially the one who allowed his Uncle and his younger cousin to be killed. My mom often says if my Uncle...My dad's younger brother who was living with them in Phnom Penh, hadn't gone back to his home village he would still be alive today. Because he returned home people knew he had left to go to school so he was taken and like so many others he never came back.

My grandpa and grandma survived but our whole family were lon nol soldiers I feel so much grief for them as none of them made it out of pochentong airforce base battambang phnom penh and elsewhere

This disgusting how relaxed these men were talking about massacring thousands. I’m sickened these rejects have not been punished

so sad

why should we punish the convict offender???? To punish the offender is nature! without this part in our society, everyone will be in great danger! don't be naive!

The filmmaker's uncle is lying through his teeth. His chuckle at the people who weren't real soldiers who got on the trucks gives away his knowledge and true feeling. He is unrepentant. It's eerily similar to Nazi officials denying knowledge. He gives away the reason, revenge for brutal treatment of Khmer Rouge who were prisoners of the regime. It's clear only later he he came to the conclusion it went to far because the soldiers were just ordinary people. But he's trying to cover his rear, protect his reputation.

Ok Khmer why they do this man for no reason my mother said that hes father died there :(

I was drinking all the time in killing feal one day when I went to pick up a water at a wide big hold I was all full of human bones in my home town satuk satuk satuk

@sn1pe352 could you fire a m24 accurately with only your right arm?

it is so sad.. thinking you have a job opportunity but it was a plan of massacre. So sorry for the cruelty the fallen had to endure.

The great sadness that was inflicted upon the Cambodian people by dark left ideology. A lesson for all ignorant folks in the West

I guess many of these 'victims' finally realized that the path of life they had chosen was the end of Revelation Road. Much like what happened to Polish Intelligentsia during WW2.

my home is 2km away from this place 😭

So incredibly sad. This has nothing to do with political ideology what so ever. It seems the further time goes the more brutal we get. I shudder to think what may happen next.

Can someone tell me what song that is at the 6 minute mark

All of them are the KR soldier, they live and know the area very well, Noun Chea and Pol pot is the master mind behind all of this issue, they know what they were doing.

It seem like these men that are talking seem like they knew about what was going on are you sure they didn't kill all those people back in the Khmer Rouge. My boyfriend was born in Phoem Penh in 1975 and he seem like he don't want to talk about it.

I have a question that might be stupid but I am still confused as to why did they need to extract confessions from "traitors"? Like making it legal would actually achieve something. They could have simply killed them, it's not like the rest of the world would acknowledge this alleged treason and condone the torture and mass killings in the name of the Khmer Rouge. I'm guessing they thought the regime would last for a long long time and os they wanted to somehow rewrite history by making everyone eventually believe in their actions as heroic or something.

unbelievable cruelty...

Hmm, everyone was on the outside looking in, even the insiders.

I'm so sad !!!

and these guys weren't punished by firing squad? shady

Great documentary. Generations of khmers peoples must know this history!!!!

Is this the journalist that was portrayed in the movie killing fields?

Watching this doc of the sadness of human being, we should bring justice to the dead and the offenders. Who and which country supported these evil monsters? I believe we should open the names and other infos of these evil monsters, and let them know the price of doing such evil works. Their families should be destroyed, their villages should be destroyed, and many many more, so no more people will dare doing such act again!!!!!!!!

Mengapa Pembantaian Khmer Merah Po Chrey Lebih Buruk Dari Yang Kita Perkirakan

Funny how these leaders alll say I did not know at the time about the murders I say rubbish they knew

@godsfool713 thanks! I'll do that. I love the truth. There was a kevin annette story about the queen taking ten children from a residential school and no one ever saw them again.

Merci pour partager histoire khmer

Merci

@TrueGreatness73 Yes, someone should take the initiative and expose the truth through a proper documentary.

This is too painful to watch, talking nonchalantly about killing people as if it were chickens , all this happened during my life time in our own backyard and we couldn't do anything about it..
