In my final year of High School in Australia, I went on a school service trip to Cambodia, and part of the trip was visiting S21 and the killings fields in our first week. Our tour guide who we had for the first four days of the trip, whose name was PK, was a great guy who was happy and cheerful the entirety of the time we had him. His uplifting and spirited behavior even continued when we were at S21, however once we entered the prison block with the room full of photos of victims, his demeanor changed. Passing into one of the rooms, he abruptly stopped talking to us and began to gaze at one of the pictures. Shorty after looking at this particular photo of someone, he began to talk again, albeit through broken words and quiet sobbing. Our tour guide, PK, was a prisoner of S21, and one of the photos on the wall was a picture of his cousin who had been killed right in front of him during this time. After he moved on we all quickly looked at this photo (and many of the other photos were of a similar nature). This body, starved, abused, mutilated, void of any humanity left. Every bone in his body was tightly wrapped around dirty and punctured skin. Hundreds of bodies covered in scars, bruises, and marks of violence. The atmosphere of our entire group was utterly traumatized for the rest of the week and I still think back to the sound of him crying. Once back on our bus, he further explained that he survived due to his ability to fix the typewriters that the prison guards and other members of the Khmer Rouge used. As such, they kept him alive until eventually he escaped from S21 when Vietnam invaded. Another couple of details to add to the killing fields: towards the right side of the main memorial are a set of sugar palm trees. PK told us that Khmer Rouge soldiers would collect these leaves and slash victims throats (as their leaves are very sharp), amongst many other methods of killing via blunt force trauma or knives as a means to save on ammunition. As briefly seen at 38:30, almost every skull had coloured stickers on specific locations of the skull to denote a range of info from the age of the victim to the method of their death, to even the number of times they were attacked. It would also be an understatement to say that many skulls had numerous stickers on them, indicating that they were attacked several times by several different methods of force. Thank you very much Spanian for publishing this video in such a professional, considerate and informative manner. Watching this brought back many memories of my trip in Cambodia, including all the people that I met over there.

My grandpa was a soldier for the khmer army and fought against the khmer rouge. My dad and grandma would go around flipping over dead bodies looking for grandpa. By the grace of god they were reunited. They were taken to a refugee camp, where my moms family was too, in thailand. My parents didnt know eachother at this time. By luck both parents were flown to the same city Oakland, Ca where they finally met and had me and my sister. Im so fucking thankful im alive right now. My grandpa is still alive at 95 today.

I did a school service trip in 2019 to Vietnam and Cambodia. The hardest legs of the trip was visiting an orphanage for disabled children affected by the agent orange chemical used in the war, and visiting the S21 prison and Killing Fields. During my visits I didn’t show much raw emotion. Maybe because I was in real shock or cause I was with other students. But fuck man watching this video really brought it out of me. Spanian, thank you for being real and making this video. This is a hidden part of history that is barely taught. Thank you for bringing more awareness

This one hits home ... There was a Cambodian family that was sponsored here which i grew up with in Bonnyrigg primary school i knew all the siblings and their parents ... They sponsored a couple man and women who ran away from Cambodia as the man was in the Khmer rouge but rebelled and got shot ... They made it over the Thailand border and eventually made it to Australia ... Their family born in Thailand raised in Australia and years later i met their eldest daughter ... Only to realise the the same Cambodian family i went to school with sponsored her parents ... We have been married for almost 15 years with 3 gorgeous children ... ❤️‍🔥🙏🏽

Well said, Spanian. I visited in 2022, found the most devastating part was that the prisoners were told they were going home when they were driven out of the prison, so they left with a smile. Little did they know, they were being taken to the killing field. This led to all the other prisoners also thinking they too would get to go 'home'' one day. RIP to all lives lost.

Brother Spanian, it's amazing your compassion and your love for Cambodia and it's people. My father is Cambodian and he still remembers the last time he saw his parents by the river. They told him to run and go as far away as possible. He walked 2 weeks until he reached Vietnam. Till this day he's never seen them or 9 of his 13 siblings ever again. Watching this brought tears to my eyes, tears which for some reason I never had when I went to the museum myself. I think Cambodians hold in the pain very well, the darkness remains but we've learnt to be happy and appreciate what we now have.

Couldn't think of anyone better to take us on this heartbreaking journey to educate us. I had a very heavy heart watching this, broke my heart. Thank you for showing us

Wow great video man. I’ve heard about the Khmer Rouge, but I’ve never been to Cambodia or seen any footage of museums or anything like this really. What a top notch channel I love everything you have, but this one was different. Please keep it up brother!!

Thank u spanian for educating Ur viewers about my country, my dads side was also killed because they were teachers and professors, they killed all educated people so knowledge wasn't learnt, it's was very touching and i did had a tear run down my eyes, I was lucky not to go through it because my parents ran to Thailand refugee camp, and I was born in the refugee camp, my parents went through hell running away dodging gun fires bombs dropping, thank so much again spanian, I hope the viewers had a eye opener much love , cambodian people would love u dearly, u got a heart of gold , my u be blessed 1000 times

Spanian all the way... the emotions are felt all the way through his voice. A solid bloke delving into a dark history of a beautiful country 😥😥😥😥😥

When history is forgotten, its doomed to repeat itself.

Well, think about Gaza. Some kids being shot in the neck by an Isra3li sniper or an early newborns being left behind in the hospital to rott because no electricity there for incubators. So many kids are buried alive under the rubble and the rest are left with PTSD. It's still happening to this day and western MSM (bought) is pushing the false narrative and spreading lies.

This was a hard one to watch span but seeing you tear up and almost cry shocked me love your content mate keep going!

Just thought I had a bad winter, this made me open my eyes and so grateful for what i have, thank you for making this.

Good to see how Spanian has grown so much as a person in the last 3 years.

Didn't cry until the 32nd minute... then I couldn't hold that back. This is one of the most real and raw docos I've watched brother.

Bless you for your compassion and for not sugar-coating what you saw. The world must remember. I hope you are doing ok. Love from Washington DC.

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing

One of the best youtubers at the moment. Trying to keep it real and honest. Please keep going and show fun and sad things.

I love how humble you are & I never knew about this... It makes your own problems/life seem like a walk in the park... Thank you for this lesson...❤❤❤

I've been living in Cambodia for the past two years and have a khmer boyfriend, and this just breaks my heart. I have never cried so much knowing how beautiful the hearts of the Khmer people are, and their culture is so pure and amazing. It breaks my heart to see these types of things, and I am so happy to see people emotionally understand the pain the Cambodians have gone through. Keep spreading awareness of the world so younger generations can hopefully find this and see ❤

Been watching you religiously for a few weeks now, seeing this has shown me a completely different side to you, you sir are a treasure and to go through that must have been tough, was a tough watch, hope youre all good mentally after that and keep up the good work. Youre the man!

Maybe it's the start of you judging ppl after you KNOW WHOM THEY BE , not judge on a comment on an issue you don't understand across the board , always has been more heart in jail than in society, spanian just amplified THAT POINT , never judge a man till you walk in his shoes , or an old school saying , I once whinged I had shit shoes till I met a boy with no fuckin feet , remember that

​@nicko4756 How did you manage to completely misinterpret that, that bad. From what I've seen, not much brings spanian to tears.

Mad respect to Spanian for sharing his emotions during this. Lads come a long way, love to see it. Great content, although it’s so sad it’s important to learn from history

The respect I have for you has just 10 folded mate. What a man you are for doing this and openly expressing the absolute horrors of what your witnessing. Huge respect lad. 🙏🏻 Thankyou.

I had no idea. I got to this video thru a miss click but bro you did a amazing job keep u the good work spreading awareness on topics not normally covered. It’s gruesome but this history needs to be taught and remembered.

Span, if this didn't open everybody's eyes to the pure and gentle heart you are, this is it. Very emotional video and I felt every moment with you. God bless you. You are on the path. Much love from your land of Aus brother.

This really made me cry, Thank you for making this video and raising awareness for the despicable evil acts the Khmer people went through, my Mum older Sis and other family are survivors of Khmer Rouge. I’m very appreciate and thankful they escaped to the Thai boarder

Thank you for spreading awareness on this because I did not know of this before your video. Just the fact that your driver mum died in there is just so heartbreaking him just taking people to her gave site, sending healing to all this effected ❤️

That was one hell of a video bro!! I just started watching Spanian, I am a huge fan! TRUE STUFF

This is the most powerful video I have ever seen a KZread channel cover. Absolutely heart breaking the suffering that people have endured. The amount of human genocide that humans have inflicted on each other is just sickening. Thank you so much for your work on this. Total respect.

It's so important for online personalities to release videos like this and show this side of humanity. I strongly believe that in order to enjoy life and what it has to offer it's important to visit places like this to understand where humanity has been and what it's capable of. I visited Auchwitz and had the exact same reaction as Spanian did here... Going into it I had read everything about it, watched every documentary and film that you could think of. But nothing prepares you for the physical experience of going to a place like this. Actually being there and sitting with it - taking in the surroundings and trying to possibly understand how such atrocities could happen.

Keep informing the world my guy I respect what u showed me today and I hope that his enlightens the world to know this wasn't to long ago in our past keep it up my guy love from LA

Spanian you are amazing lad, one of a rare breed who take in the history and actually listen and understand what your seeing/reading, I want to visit Cambodia and this gave me and many others an insight you’d never see anywhere else, thanks lad, showing your emotional side is also something many men needed to see Love you mate

Portrayed the atrocities with grace and respect mate, and highlighted the incredible resilience and strength of the Cambodian people. Important that these things are taught and shown. Thank you, and thank you for being vulnerable too.
