Deep Dive

Chapters
Pol Pot's regime operates in secrecy, using prisons like S-21 to root out and punish rivals through torture and forced confessions, while maintaining a facade of normalcy and hope in Phnom Penh.

Shownotes Transcript

Pol Pot constructs a secretive one-party state. Cambodia descends into hell as his twisted social experiment begins. Finally, the shifting sands of geopolitics will create challenges for the Khmer Rouge. Pol Pot will be forced back into the jungle. But even then, the man with untold blood on his hands will somehow evade justice.
