Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge were removed from power in 1979 when Vietnam invaded Cambodia and quickly destroyed most of the KR forces. The Khmer Rouge then fled to Thailand, whose government saw them as a buffer force against the Communist Vietnamese. The Khmer Rouge continued to fight against the Vietnamese and the government of the new People’s Republic of Kampuchea until the end of the war in 1989.
The documentary INSIDE THE KHMER ROUGE (1990, 47 min) by David A. Feingold and Shari Robertson takes an in-depth look at the history, domination, and status of the Khmer Rouge in 1990. The must-watch-film features revealing interviews with soldiers of the Khmer Rouge and those who fought in opposition.
