Abstract:

"This program shows the effects of the Khmer Rouge policy of turning Cambodia into an Iron Age rural economy; the incredible cost of the resulting mass murder and mass starvation and disease; the unlikely role of Communist Vietnam as invader and savior of Cambodia and the likely outcome of the Vietnamese army's departure: the reemergence of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge and more devastation to the ravaged land and desperate people of Cambodia."
