Tragedy of the Killing Fields

[alleexSD1324]

My dad was born in 1971 in phnom phen so he was just a kid when Khmer rouge invaded. He told his dad was killed by them.

[strongarmeric]

Never happen again Pffft... yeah that's not going to happen they said that after ww2 look how that turned out

[TheBlueblonde]

Kinda makes you realize how awful things can be, how awful they have been and how awful they still are. This is to horrible for words.

[grunt182820]

shit and or disrespectfull

[JACENZ]

good video montage, but the song i personally think someone with less of an asian accent should rap. if that fail don't rap just sing it as normal song. but an overall raiting from me is a 7-10. thumbs up keep up the good work :D.

[jennykhvan]

@JACENZ yess because if it was someone without a Cambodian male accent.. it would be proper video on Cambodia's genocide, right?

Lollllll for sure bro.

[CamboxLambo]

stfu bitch wat kindasong wud u like rapping??? dumbass

[mesixpence]

shit 'song', crap hip hop

[lion3p0]

america is to blame, they knew wat was happeneing and wat the khmer rouge was doing and they willfully supplied and supported them to spite the vietmiese, they also supported the khmer rouge's seat in the UN and they still suppplied them when they were driven out into the jungles

[pinoyakobai]

it's the communist !!! nothing to do with american .

[Nationalacr0bat]

2 million dead khmers and 500,000 viet/chinese/thai, all supported by american tax payers. Pol pot in hiding, khmer rouge destroyed, ended khmer genocide all thanks to victorious vietnam army. brave heroes.

[RobDaFob]

If I lived back then with the Khmer Rouge I would DARE those evil FUCKERS to put down their guns and fight me like a man and I ASSURE you I will fucking murder each and one of them with my bare hands.

[TheBlueblonde]

@RobDaFob Like the attitude! I'd join you

[TheGreatNguyen]

long live pol pot

[PizzaPhobia22]

@TheGreatNguyen You say that? Yet , obviously you are educated. so. .. he would kill you... SO, yeah..respect your own murder? you are a dumbass fucking asshole.

[TheGreatNguyen]

@PizzaPhobia22 pol pot did a great job

[Hunkola]

Cambodia was the 3rd biggest genocide in history.........here's the official rank:

1) Joseph Stalin = 20 million killed

2) Adolf Hitler = 13 million killed

3) Pol Pot =  2 million killed

[beaverpitt]

mao millions dead

[XmaddysigX]

@Hunkola Not communist china?

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

@Hunkola Mao is greater than all those combined! And Mao was responsible for Pol Pot.

[myikandyland]

The view Pol Pot had was to create an Utopia of its purest form, no education, no modern inventions, no foreign language, etc. Not communisim, HOWEVER, Pol Pot was IN an underground communist movement, thus creating the guerilla regime, Khmer Rouge. This video was to remind people all over the world of its tragedy, not to compare warfare. The Genocide in Cambodia, was the 2nd biggest Genocide in recorded modern history, next to Hitler. PraCh Ly is an inspiring artist.

[seekerskeptic]

I hate what people do to each other.

[xdeliriumx1]

if you knew what you were talking about you would lnow that communism has hardly anything to do with killing or oppression. The way it has been put in place has never been true communism, tons of capitalist regimes have been just as repressive as this, so don't talk about smashing communism like an idiot.

[albertmarriner]

yes, and that's why we all need to rise up, and stamp out communism once and for all! the red menace is a disease, and must be treated as such. the only good commie is a dead commie!

[MrKoolman85]

@albertmarriner ; don't worry man...be happy...communism is no more in the world...so now v hav a bettr world ryt...???no wars,no starvation,v hav equal rights to express our opinions(except the wikileaks creator),no iraq,no afghenistan,no palastine.now that communism is history v hav a perfect little world to live....hehe

[hypernezzr]

Cambodia will Rise to it truest again and no one will take it away ever again!

[argybargyandagro]

"This is a short montage about the Killing Fields. It is a reminder of the past, that will never to be repeated again". What about North Korea? There are echos of Tuol Sleng and Auschwitz being continuously reported, torture, starving children, rape, cannibalism, murder are happening across the country at secret concentration camps controlled by the state. Kim Yong Il is the new Pol Pot, and the longer we ignore it, the worse it will get! See documentary: 'CHILDREN OF THE SECRET STATE'.

[jeffhanson1]

@argybargyandagro History, or specifically humans have already repeated history many times. Wasn't WW1 called "the war to end all wars"? Repeating history goes for "ignoring" too, just like when Hitler went on his madness and killed millions of Jews and invaded dozens of European countries before he was taken seriously, Rwanda (AKA the movie Hotel Rwanda), Saddam Hussein.

[Dlmj73]

asian hip hop sound funny hahaha

[ChinoBoi562]

yea person below thats y planes get crashed into builidiings

in this country

[kamikazzi92]

its all business. it was cheaper to not help them

[alanfukCn]

he rap when he eating dog shit

[amaikamostwantedgurl]

why does he rap like he's takin a shit

[speedingwolf]

I normally don't like rap but this is good. Not bad

[KhmerRapper]

Prach is good...

[forthashorteez]

That these acts of genocide happened in the late 1970's makes this all so much more sickening. It makes me think we will never learn from crimes of the past, instead use them as blueprints for the future.

" It is a reminder of the past, that will never to be repeated again. " Sadly this is an example of repeated history...

[Crnogorka01]

So sad. :(

[PaliSoulja]

u are cool my friend!

[JunWing1234]

this rap was made by some guy who lived in america and got kicked back to cambodia for illegal imigrant issues ..

[jbmccreery]

rap music is art reflecting on life in a lyrical way! big ups for this vid!

[jbmccreery]

"rap music is degrading" sounds like the sort of crap that "they" would have used to control the minds of their followers, and justify what "they" did!

[LeeSilver77]

Putrid racial music...

[510raskal]

ohh shit dis rapp make sence im gonna make one shiet....always sad wen i think bout bak den

[imnotbeingfunnybut]

i think rapping is used as another way of telling the story of what happened, i dont fing it degrading i dont think its meant in a bad way.

so sad what happened to the cambodians.

[charliedip]

Rap music is degrading

[He101A]

See how great Communism is liberals. 100% of the liberals in the West are Communists. Learn something from this you liberals.

[a05bf5ff]

Possibly the most ignorant and childish statement i have ever read. You need to educate yourself and form your own opinions through research and critical thinking.

This is exactly like saying "See how great Fascism is Republicans/Conservatives. 100% of the the Republicans/conseratives in the West are Fascists. Learn something from the Holocaust you Republicans."

Grow the fuck up you absolute gobshite.

[He101A]

Fascism is a lot better than communism! I would rather fight for Hitler than Stalin any day!

[a05bf5ff]

they are both equally as bad. i hope u get to experience it one day and maybe your childish outlook will change.

[perkele0079]

Angka leu!

[PollyEsterFabric]

rap music gets the attention of the younger generations.

[perkele0079]

I don't like that description, but it isn't far off the mark, as long as you're not trying to derogate by using the term. I think that there is a subculture of people from poor South East Asian countries that identify with the culture of the oppressed, hence the use of rap and the baggage that comes with it. I personally hate hip hop, but I don't mind it when it is in a political vein.

[dogheaven39]

scary

[d983394]

this is what communism gets you

[vietnamdude]

that is what china government nationalist gets you ... real communism hasntever remain ... never !

[perkele0079]

It's also what more bombs than were dropped on Germany during the duration of World War two gets you.

[PollyEsterFabric]

i like this video...great song..very touching almost made me cry...i love my Cambodian people

[perkele0079]

I've been to Cambodia many times, and have friends there. So I share your sentiment.

[chhan1986]

what is the title of the song! this song so amazing!

[AlexD562]

Power, Territory and Rice by Prach Ly

[chansophoan]

can someone send this song to me ? I like this song, Thanks  bong phe oon broh srey

[Rathanak08]

Pol Pot was a crazy man. That was the result of a combination between a pure fool and an uncontrolled power. What you get is a tragedy.

[amishmike1]

Khmere Rouge is Cambodian for "Thinning the herd."

Retarded rap song. Busting out rhymes about how much the world sucks is not going to do anything to fix it

[Fabiversity]

How is that Cambodian? Rouge is french and means "Red" and Khmer is the biggest ethnic group in Cambodia.

[luvsmawine]

this is terrible another holocaust

[UeberTueber]

excellent vid, excellent lyrics.  good work.

[ilovemeld32]

is this rap by someone who is cambodia? ..jw cuz the accent

[hhhsks]

god damn...I think that the single most stupid attemnt in the world that has been succsesful, was the khmer rouge, i hate them all so much, they murdured people because they didnt like them, because they were educated, because they couldnt work hard enough. many historians say that the khmer rouge uprising was only secessful because it was merciless brutality combined with un-ending stupidity...god damn the spirits of all the people who supported the khmer rouge

[darthconvader]

h t  t p : // w w w . progressive . org /mag_rothschild0308

Killing fields coming to a neighbourhood near you soon!

[crazycambo951]

[letplaydude]

[hhhsks]

FUCK U! u got no bloody idea what ur on about ass hole, go kill urself now to end ur suffering retard! god damn! any one who supports them should be monitered closly by the cops FBI CIA and the national gov.

[gorrystinks]

Khmer is the name of the people that were getting killed, his family probably.

u got no bloody idea what your on about.

[hhhsks]

up urs ass face

[gorrystinks]

up "yours"

[hhhsks]

its called improper writing, why in the hell would i waste my time for spelling on youtube facebook MSN etc. ?! and also, im sorry for sayin ass face, im just pissed from KR and i dont wanna take critisizm

[washo08]

i believe that the ones that were being killed were innocent citizens of Cambodia

the Khmer Rouge was the guerrila group that massacred all the innocnet people in the killing fields

[Motherfucker5000]

And People Like Sunsara Taylor and Bob Avakian embrace people like Pol Pot,Chairman Mao, or Kim Jong Il.But they dont give a shit

[Khmerpride72]

Its So Hard 2 Watch this Cause my Family had 2 Go Through this with Pain & Suffering with Sadness... I'm Glad we had a Good Life in America.

[neanghansen2005]

Just watching this make me angry and sad. My dad told me so much what he went through when he was young in Cambodia. My mom won't even talk about it because its so painfull. My parents has been through hell during the khmer rouge. I'm so happy that they found a better life here in the U.S.

[fsxpilot77]

Same story for my dad, now I'm also happy to be here in France.

[eatinghotfries]

now if this shit was now i be in the military and kill them mother fuckin khmer rouge. pussy bitch. damn watching this shit pisses me off cause there still out there some moved to the us. and just changed there life but still have that khmer rouge in them just not showing it cause they get fucked up .

[solanadoc]

EveryTime I see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, I see him as a puppet of China, very similiar to North Korea's Kim Jong Il and Pol Pot of the Khmer Rouge. Also similiar is Pakistan's president MUSHARRAF, getting Nukes in exchange that they point them at India! Instead of millions that died by the Khmer Rouge doing China's dirty work. Billions may die in a nuclear halocaust due to China giving Nukes to crazy dictators and Muslim Terrorists! So sad how history is going to repeat itself.

[arafel1964]

Just keep coming back.

Can someone tell me what musicgroups/singer this is?

[tage202]

nice job on the video and rap guys..

[arafel1964]

Class-struggle is 1 of the basic items used in commnism or communism-based powers; Stalin's Russia, Hitler's Germany, Cambodia and the CCP from China's Mao Zedung who made more victims then in WO1 and 2. We must have compassion, truth, humanity, forgiveness, love and humanity to create and maintain worldpeace and not the greed, the power, the hatred so much used in these kind of regimes

[arafel1964]

Look for '9 Commentaries'and 'Falun Gong' on internet and YouTube. Both are related to topics on communism, the truth about communism, and other regimes which use hatred instead of universal values. I deeply feel sorrow for Cambodia

[denbenenki]

today, a similar film can portray you americants as the new forces of the KILLING FIELDS!

[DemonKnight86]

we are not the Killing Field stupid

[actwealthy]

I pray that endless good now comes to Cambodia in endless ways. I pray that endless good overtakes Cambodians for the future.

[yamayzfr7]

Great job guys. Never have listened to rap but this one is very nice. Thanks

[sonofburma]

Yeah! Either do I!! I rarely listen rap...but this one is just so nice!!!

[khmer540finest08]

man this hurt to watch make ppl children from da victim in da khmer rouge like me understand life

[perryseau]

This is a war of horror in south east asia.

[kh3mersweetluv]

i kno how you feel most of my grandparnets were kill

in the khmer rouge but i only have one grandma left and im thankful my parnet survicve

[volcomsurfer73]

this video was touching.its sad that the younger generation is so brainwashed by other minorities that they dont take the time to be thankful for what their parents went through.after all if it was not for their parents they wounldn't be here

[laughaholic]

wow . . . very touching. i enjoyed how you put this together, sends out a strong message.

[sergant27]

I'm 10 the young generation I was born in battmbang I came to the USA at 3 some of my family was killed by khmer rouge fuck the khmer rouge

[romulusnr]

It will likely happen again, and again... It's bad enough that the younger generations don't care about history... worse that even if you show this to them they don't care because it can't happen to them... grainy TV and old black and white isn't real anyway.

[malayazncloudboi]

thanx for clearing that up; to add on, N Vietnam was politically aligned with the USSR, and Cambodia was supported by China, yet these two superpowers were at odds with each other; so contrary to the historical inaccuracy of the lyrics, N Vietnam did NOT support Pol Pot

[minghiabro]

they only supported pol pot during the vietnam war but after pol pot took power his army attacked vietnam and they were getting fed up of khmer rouge attacks and so the vietnamese launched a full scale invasion of cambodia and easily ousted pol pot

[malayazncloudboi]

If Pol Pot was supported by the North Vietnamese, then why did North Vietnam go to war with Cambodia in 1979?

[minghiabro]

because when vietnam bacame united, cambodia began attacking vietnamese border villages and after vietnamese forces threatened to attack cambodia, the khmer rouge began to ethnically cleanse the vietnamese minority and in response vietnam overthrew the pol pot regime and installed a pro-vietnamese govt which lasted until 1989

[solanadoc]

You guys got it all wrong. Of coure the North Vietnamese and Pol Pot was sponsored by China, but that was before America pulled out in 1975! When America pulled out in 1975 China lost control of Vietnam to the Russians! China pissed off like mad, because of supplying manpower and weapons to help Vietnam kick out the U.S. and got nothing in return, decided to sponsor Pol Pot to fight against the Vietnamese!

[nargopolis]

That's correct. Communism totally fucked up that entire part of the world, but the fact is that in this case, it was the North Vietnamese who ultimately took down the Khmer Rouge.

The way we learn history in the US, we think that Communism was one monolithic entity. But Cambodia was a proxy war between Russia and China, the same way Vietnam was a proxy war between Russia and the US. In modern times, great powers fight their battles on the land (and with the lives) of weaker nations.

[markjhf]

god, i have to say, i think that is the most brilliant statement i seen on youtube!

[melia209]

This jus pissed me off too, but love da video n da song... good job guys we all need to learn bout this n try to help prevent this from happening again...

[cheat1]

Nice video.. kinda pissed me off.. but the young generations should see it and see what our parents been thru.!
