917 Viewpoint 89 : Cambodia - Year Ten
First viewed : 31 October 1989
This was John Pilger's follow up documentary to the one that made his reputation ten years earlier which laid bare the genocidal excesses of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in their rule of the country from 1975 to 1979.
The message from this one was that the Khmer Rouge, now in league with the former ruler in exile Prince Sihanouk , were poised to make a comeback because the U.S, would not help the relatively moderate ruling regime because it was set up by their unforgivable conquerors in Vietnam.
Thankfully that didn't come to pass and the country is now relatively peaceful.
