Fall of the Khmer Rouge Footage - Uncovering the Horrors of Pol Pot’s Cambodia (1980)

Video Description

Between 18 September and 20 October 1980, ITN's Sandy Gall reported from Cambodia in the wake of the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Between 1976 and 1979, millions of Cambodians had died at the hands of a totalitarian dictatorship headed by Cambodian Communist Pol Pot, before the regime was expelled following 1979 invasion by neighbouring Vietnam. Sandy Gall reported on the ongoing efforts to reconstruct the country, as well as the mounting evidence of Pol Pot's reign of terror, and what is today known as the Cambodian Genocide. #Cambodia #PolPot #KhmerRouge #Vietnam #Cambodia #Kampuchea #ColdWar #History #Communism #Communist #Genocide #DemocraticKampuchea #Vietnamese #CambodianHistory #1980s #1979 #1980 To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/film?phrase=AS201080001*%20OR%20AS180880001*%20OR%20AS131080002*%20OR%20AS141080002*%20AS161080003*%20OR%20AS171080002*&sort=best&license=rf%2Crr To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage/itn 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - https://www.youtube.com/@ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ITNArchive 🎥 Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ITNArchiveITNP 🎥 Check out our TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itnarchive1955
