Cambodia today is many people’s idea of heaven on earth. But in the
1970s it was a netherworld of death and despair. Under Pol Pot and
the Khmer Rouge, in just four years around a quarter of the
population perished. Pol Pot was a uniquely anonymous dictator - a
man who preferred to operate in the shadows. So who was he? And how
did he come to lead such a staggeringly bloody regime? A Noiser
production, written by Dan Smith. This is Part 1 of 4. For ad-free
