John Pilger’s challenging documentary Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia (1979) was shot shortly after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Throughout the Vietnam War, the United States unleashed 100,000 tons of bombs on Cambodia, after which genocide was committed during the reign of Pol Pott and the Khmer Rouge – an atrocity that the country is still overcoming to this day. The film reveals the extreme poverty and suffering endured by the Cambodian people, and the pain inflicted upon them by a dictatorial regime.
