In the Shadow of the Killing Fields
E17 Apr 9, 1988 TV-PG
Ten years after Pol Pot 's reign of terror, Cambodians fear that the horror of the killing fields may return.
Britain and the West recognise the exiled Khmer Rouge and their allies as the true government, so Cambodia is denied the aid her people so desperately need. The Khmer Rouge continue to wage a bloody guerrilla war.
Russia supports the Vietnamese controlled government in the capital Phnom Penh. After
Afghanistan, Mr Gorbachev wants a settlement here too. But if the Vietnamese army go, will Pol Pot return?
Jane Corbin reports on the desperation of a people trapped in the land the world forgot.
