Colour, 45 minutes (1990)
One of five David A. Feingold documentaries on Cambodia,
recently released on DVD for public viewing by Documentary Educational Resources (DER), Inside the Khmer Rouge takes an in-depth look at the history, domination, and current
status of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. The film features revealing interviews with soldiers of both the modern
Khmer Rouge and those who fight in opposition. A comprehensive timeline of the regime's five year occupation in Cambodia is dissected and includes a review of key individuals,
ideologies, and locations where devastation hit hardest. Following this, the film takes a look at the effects on the Cambodian
citizens upon the retraction of Vietnamese forces.
Inside the Khmer Rouge continues to investigate the current tactics the modern Khmer Rouge implement and
their attempts to persuade followers in order to rebuild and expand their regime. Oppositely, local forces or 'jungle soldier's
discuss their devices for assuring the destruction and atrocities once caused by the Khmer Rouge never happen again.
