Year Zero – The Silent Death of Cambodia
President Nixon and Mr. Kissinger unleashed 100,000 tons of bombs, the equivalent of 5 Hiroshimas.
The bombing was their personal decision; they illegally and secretly, they bombed Cambodia, a neutral country, back to the Stone Age.
And I mean Stone Age in its’ literal sense.
John Pilger vividly reveals the brutality and murderous political ambitions of the Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge totalitarian regime which bought genocide and despair to the people of Cambodia while neighboring countries, including Australia, shamefully ignored the immense human suffering and unspeakable crimes that bloodied this once beautiful country.

This was very enlightening. I’ve read “The Killing Fields,” which was a nonfiction book about these events, but watching this has been refreshing. It’s hard to believe that people can be capable of committing such atrocities.
No. It’s propaganda. At least the beginning is. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet. US bombing of Cambodia ended on August 17th of 1973! The Khmer Rouge took Pnom Pehn in Sept. of 1975. The bombing ended two years before year zero, and over two years before any starvation began. He fails to mention that. In fact, it appears that his mis-impression is quite deliberate. Tying Nixon and Kissinger to the Cambodian genocide is completely gratuitous.
re: Robert Haley.
I’ve lived in Cambodia, i’ve seen the places from this documentary. this is not propaganda, it’s fact, if you fly from Saigon to Phnom penh you can still se bomb craters in the cambodian countryside. I recomend you to watch the documentary “trials of Kissinger” to ge an idea of the foreign policies of the Nixon administration during the 70′s. Norodom Sihanouk was overthrown by the us backed general Lon Nol 1970. Sihanouk was living in exil in China. from China he went out on the radio urging the khmers to “go to the jungle and join the guerilla, the khmer rouge”, he belived they could help him defeat Lon Nol and restore his power. the US bombed a neutral country, it’s a war crime, and thus makes Kissinger and Nixon war criminals, the UN should put them on trial at the warcrime tribunal in Haag, but sadly the UN didnt behave that nice during this era either. the khmer rouge were allowed to keep their seat at the UN till 1989, even though the world knew of their crimes. And the khmer rouge didn’t take Phnom penh in september 1975, they took phnom penh on april 17th 1975, and the vietnamese took phnom penh from the khmer rouge 7 january 1979 (bhramphal makhara). this is a good documentary, not propaganda.
Horrible. Simply horrible. What a massacre. And H. Kissinger got a Nobel prize for this massacre???!!!
