The Most Evil Men In History - Pol Pot
Pol Pot, born Saloth Sar, was a Cambodian Communist revolutionary who led the Khmer Rouge from 1963 until his death in 1998. From 1963 to 1981, he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. From 1976 to 1979, he also served as the prime minister of Democratic Kampuchea. Pol Pot became leader of Cambodia on April 17, 1975, and his rule has been described as being a dictatorship. During his time in power he imposed agrarian socialism, forcing urban dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects. The combined effects of forced labor, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions resulted in the deaths of approximately 21 percent of the Cambodian population. In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people (out of a population of slightly over 8 million) died as a result of the policies of his three-year premiership.- published: 18 Feb 2014

Pol Pot - Utazás a gyilkos mezőkre
A múlt században számos kegyetlen diktátor élt, akik milliókat gyilkoltak meg a hatalomért folytatott harcukban, de csak kevesen voltak olyanok, akik ekkora csapást mértek egyetlen kis országra. Pol Pot négy évig tartó kambodzsai uralma alatt népe csaknem egyharmadát kiirtotta. Egy- és hárommillió között lehet azoknak a kambodzsaiaknak a száma, akik meghaltak Pol Pot uralmának 3 éve, 8 hónapja és 20 napja alatt.- published: 18 Feb 2014

Cambodian Genocide - Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge
Cambodian Genocide - Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge
The photographs of the victims from the Cambodian genocide are what really haunt you. There's a huge discussion of this topic on my blog, http://www.vagabonding.com/travelogue/000060.html Here's an entry I wrote about this: Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, and Genocide in Cambodia During their three-year, eight-month, and 21-day rule of Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge committed some of the most heinous crimes in modern history: - The entire population of Cambodia's urban areas was evacuated from their homes and forced to march into rural areas to work the fields. - Every man, woman, and child was forced into slave labor for 12-15 hours each day. - An estimated two million people (21% of Cambodia's population) lost their lives. Many of these victims were brutally executed; many more died of starvation, exhaustion, and disease. That these crimes were committed so recently (1975-1978) makes them all the more sickening. The country's scars are still plainly visible: - The population is suspiciously youthful (50% is under the age of 15). - The economy is in shambles. This is partially thanks to the Khmer Rouge's execution of the upper and educated classes. The fact that they destroyed most of the vehicles and machines in the cities can't have helped. - New human remains turn up around the exhumed mass graves of the Killing Fields of Cheoung Ek on a daily basis. Silent reminders of the tragedy, these bones and teeth are ceremoniously placed into makeshift shrines in tree hollows and cement planters. It's hard to comprehend the motivations behind an atrocity like the Cambodian genocide. What could have been going through the minds of the Khmer Rouge officers and their leader Pol Pot? "Hey Pol, I've got an idea, man. Let's turn the country upside down and get real primitive. Evacuate all the cities, march everyone out to the country. And then start farming, man! Big time. And if anyone resists, let's execute them. In fact, let's kill a whole lot of people. I'm talking hundreds of thousands. Maybe millions. And do it real cruel-like. Bash their heads against trees, electrocute 'em, drown 'em in vats of cold water..." Fear must have been the prevailing motivator in the regime. How could an officer commit such monstrous crimes against his own countrymen? For fear that something even worse would happen to him. The Khmer Rouge atrocity seems to follow a time-honored recipe for genocide: the obsessive desire to reach a religious or political ideal coupled with a healthy dose of madness. Why don't we learn? It seems as if past atrocities of genocide haven't served as a warning, but instead as a blueprint for how to repeat them. But if history has proven human beings to be intrinsically fallible, it has also proven us to be extraordinarily resilient. Pol Pot cast a heavy shadow over Cambodia, but the people have managed to persevere, begin anew, and find joy in life again. -- If you'd like to learn more about the genocide in Cambodia, visit the Yale Cambodian Genocide Project at http://www.yale.edu/cgp/.- published: 18 Feb 2014

The latter plays a central part in this film. The innocent looking Sar was internationally known as Pol Pot, the leader of the infamous Cambodian Khmer Rouge. The director offers a comprehensive view on the personal and political history of this communist leader, including old footage, talks with politicians and historians, and fragments of the last interview ever given by Pol Pot; the interview with journalist Nate Thayer, just after his arrest in 1997.- published: 18 Feb 2014

Correva l'anno - Pol Pot 1
Correva l'anno - Pol Pot 1
18 marzo 1970, Phnom Penh: un colpo di stato militare appoggiato dagli Stati Uniti depone dal trono di Cambogia il Re Norodom Sihanouk e porta al potere il generale Lon Nol. Comincia così una sanguinosa guerra civile che terminerà cinque anni più tardi con la conquista del paese da parte dei Khmer Rossi di Pol Pot. I mille fronti della guerra civile, che preparano l'orrore dell'olocausto cambogiano, sono il risultato del complicato intreccio delle vicende di questa parte dell'Indocina. Si intrecciano in questo scenario la guerra americana nel vicino Vietnam e le strategie di Unione Sovietica e Cina, le scelte politiche del Trono di Cambogia e quelle del giovane capo del Partito Comunista Cambogiano. Non è ancora Pol Pot, il suo nome è Saloth Sar, classe 1925 e figlio di agiati proprietari terrieri. Incontra il marxismo in Francia dove era andato a studiare e torna nel suo paese quando il Re fantoccio Sihanouk (che proprio i francesi avevano voluto sul trono) proclama l'indipendenza del paese dalla Francia. Nel 1953 si iscrive al clandestino Partito Comunista che ancora non aveva molti seguaci, ma che già si guadagnava il sostegno degli studenti nel paese...- published: 18 Feb 2014
