@vinkjohn I think you may have meant 1975....

@KhmerUtopia I'm not sure if you've seen this, but Nuon Chea was asked directly about "Year Zero" by Thet Sambath in his documentary "Enemies of the People".

@themattmadden @KhmerUtopia Super interesting! Thanks for sharing.

@KhmerUtopia Happy birthday and congrats! I'm excited to see your take on the biography!

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia You ever feel like just having an entire episode where you give us a recipe for Fish Amok... and no one dies? 🤔🤣

@themattmadden @KhmerUtopia @sstrangio @CEtcheson Wonderful! Thanks for working on such an important book. An early Xmas present for myself :)

@KhmerUtopia There's nothing more Cambodian than constant rain on a tin roof. It'll just add to the atmosphere. ,🤣

@KhmerUtopia I was talking with someone the other day about how little I knew about the cultural revolution's influence on the Khmer rouge! I'm excited to hear this!

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@realtimeKR Do we have any sense of how true this is? It's it all paranoid fantasy bolstered by confessions under torture or was there some kernal of truth in the Vietnamese intentions for Cambodia?

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia Oh, wow. This looks fascinating!

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia Aren't you supposed to edit it into three 45 minute episodes, filled out with a bunch of promotions, then release them every three weeks, so that we're all amazed at how fast you produce content? :)

@KhmerUtopia Any instrumental movie soundtracks: Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, John Williams. Simple, epic music.. makes me feel like whatever I'm doing is a big adventure...

@KhmerUtopia @SBS Have you heard of the podcast "Death in Cambodia, Life in America "? A daughter interviews her father who survived the genocide and then got into the donut industry in America. The host isn't incredibly knowledge of Cambodian history, but I found it interesting regardless.

@KhmerUtopia 10 INSANE things the Khmer Rouge did in Phnom Penh that Pol Pot doesn't want you to know!

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia I remember finding out that between 30,000 - 150,000 cambodians died in the bombing campaign. I was talking to someone about why the range was so big, and they answred, "Because no one cared." Flippant perhaps, but it stuck with me.

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia I'd love to hear your take on the film! When reading survivor's stories I'm never quite sure how accurate their memories are. Haing Ngor's in particular, I'm often thinking "Really? Did all this really happen to you? Exactly like that? All of it?"

[Simulacra @Simulacra20]

@KhmerUtopia I think I'd prefer more frequent shorter episodes. It makes it easier to go back and relisten to specific events instead of trying to find where in a longer episode something was discussed. (I also just love getting the new episode notification more often. :) )

@KhmerUtopia 36c and sunny here in Cambodia. However you will get soaking wet (and covered in talcum powder) if you venture outside. 😁

@KhmerUtopia Other than the photo, I know nothing about it.
