Kampuchea from Tragedy to Rebirth

Focuses on the struggle of the Cambodian people to regain and rebuild their nation through education and industrialisation. Features harrowing images of death and starvation, and footage of victims recounting their experience of life under Pol Pot's regime. Scenes of towering temples and traditional dancing are contrasted to the training of enemy soldiers, armed with US weapons, and scenes of warfare. At a celebration to mark the 60th Anniversary of the Soviet Union, the Cambodian leader voices his gratitude to the Communist Party and the Soviet people, who are shown teaching technological and construction skills to their Cambodian comrades. Includes foreign newsreel footage.
