Cómo Pol Pot convirtió a su propio país en un campo de exterminio

When Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia in 1975, they promised to build a completely new society. To achieve this, they attempted to dismantle the country's traditional structures and radically transform the lives of millions. Cities were evacuated, private property was abolished, and much of the population was forced to work in appalling conditions. What began as a revolutionary project ended up becoming one of the greatest human tragedies of the 20th century. In this documentary, we examine how Pol Pot's regime transformed Cambodia into a system of mass repression, exploring the policies of the so-called "Year Zero," the labor camps, the internal purges, and the devastating consequences that left a lasting mark on the country's history. 📌 Historical and educational content 📌 Based on historical research and documents 📌 Does not promote ideologies or glorify violence 📌 The goal is to understand one of the most tragic episodes in contemporary history 🖼️ The images used come from historical material and have been adapted for educational purposes.
