âIf the Khmer Rouge told you that rain falls from the earth, not from the sky, you agreed, or youâd be killed for being an intellectual.â â On April 17, 1975, the face of Cambodia would be forever changed. As Khmer Rouge soldiers marched into the capital city of Phnom Penh, the unsuspecting people of Cambodia had little idea they would be forced into a living nightmare that would last nearly four years. This film shows the courage, survival and eventual triumph over the Communist regime that was responsible for the deaths of over 2 million people. The voices of many Cambodians are heard as they convey their thoughts, ideas and emotions â the very things they were forced to abandon in the âkilling fieldsâ of Cambodia.
