It is a documentary. My story, too sad even 45 yrs later.

This movie is one of the most important documentaries ever made in my opinion. Absolutely guts you.

This movie was very well done. I still have tears in my eyes. I am so heartbroken for what Cambodians have endured but so inspired by their strength, smiles, and beautiful music.

This documnetary was very touching, while also being incredibly sad to watch! Especially regarding the people being torn apart from each other. Music brought them together, and that was stripped away when the government wanted to control everything to an extreme level. The Prince was very flip-floppy with his position in which government he supported. The emphasis on culture and arts started to shift towards militant attitudes that brought the people to a divide. I'm glad the people preserved through a lot of it, despite the chaos going on around them. Thank you for uploading this mastery of a documentary to youtube.

I am amazed, perhaps heartbroken as well, that you failed to mention Pol Pot came to power amidst Cambodia's destabilization as the "secret" Kissinger-Nixon carpet and mine bombings had their intended effects. 1/3 of Cambodia's population was killed during that period. All elements of Western culture where "wiped" away, as the population largely died of starvation while in Pol Pot's concentration camps. After Pol Pot was driven from power a shell of normalization emerged. but the USA's mines continue till today to take their toll. LP's and 45's of this past era. the mish-mash of USA rock, pop, lounge, and country-western music played on USA Armed Forces Radio, was integrated into Khmer music, then came out of walls, floorboards, and other hiding places. That is the history, and the music, this film recounts. If you need a non-textbook introduction to what the USA enabled in Cambodia, read this book: www.amazon.com/When-Broken-Glass-Floats-Growing/dp/0393322106. You may also want to learn the fever of the USA/Cambodian band, Dengue Fever

@@RobertHogner I’ll also mention the fact that this is well explained in the video, Sisamouth and Ros both were enslaved for a few years before they attempted to make a run and their existences were long questioned as many of the Cambodian’s lives were devastated. I was looking at the brighter side of culture and how that can be easily taken away and destroyed when things like war take initiative over society, some many of the western influences altered the Cambodians looks at music and brought a new taste into their lives, thank you.

@@RobertHogner Pol pot is what I implied when I mentioned armed war, Cambodia going into a frenzy from Nixon bombing the Ho Chi Minh trails brought a lot of contraversity from American citizens, propaganda controlled the Cold War during this time, and as the USA's focus on communism brought them into the Vietnam war this attitude furthered many deaths in Cambodia and Vietnam. I didn't mean to come off insensitive when I mentioned the Prince, he didn't have much of a choice as he had to submit to the forces of Pol Pot otherwise he would see his life being taken out of desperation. Western culture made its away over to Cambodia in many forms of music and artistic culture, a lot of which had a profound effect on the youth. 1/3 of the population did get killed and this is very heartbreaking as I mentioned people were stripped away from each other and divided to only become slaves under the authority of Pol Pot as a Socialist society, but the Prince wanted a mix of Capitalism and Socialism, not outright one or the other. If you want to continue a discussion, I'm all ears and I look forward from hearing from you once more, the book you sent looks very interesting and I'd be more than willing to give it a read, thank you and I wanted to clarify what I said as it may have been interpreted the wrong way as a prop piece, however my intentions are purely to explain how I feel about the people and their decimated culute and lost memories of people and villages. Thank you. The genocide fields and prisons are dishearting. Villages left with very few left in them, and 260,000 Cambodians fled to France and the USA to get away from the trouble that was Pol Pot's decimation of the Cambodian People's. He overthrew Lon Nol to take power and abused that power to his liking which continued for 3 years until it was too late where 1/4 of the entire population was gone in less than 5 years. Its horrifying to think about.

Rest In peace all of my beloved singers! I adore your contributes to the music of this planet! Thank you for raising your voices and let it last forever. Love from Vietnam

I am still crying 😭😭when i watch again. It's so hurt of Cambodian.

Thank you for posting this! I’ve been listening to Pen Ran and Sin Sissamouth for a couple years now and I’ve been wanting to watch this documentary!

Amazing the one putting this documentary together with the amazing classic Khmer songs. 😭❤🇰🇭

I didnt think about cambodian rock music would interest me so much. Great film!

Ho vissuto 4 anni in Cambogia e quello che si vede in questo video sembra essere un altro mondo

Beautiful history. I grow up in America when I was 5. I learn part of our culture through sinsisamuth songs. Ultimately learn the Khmer language and singing through it. sanity my legend. Watching this bring hearts and tears to my soul. Thank you for posting.

The wonderful of Cambodia and the wonderful of Cambodian people had been torn apart because of one person who wanted to be in power and fame. The people of Cambodia paid the ultimate price their lives, torn the family apart when I am watching this documentary film it makes me very sick and very angry I can’t forget I love the soul of Cambodian music the legend singers the golden voices of many singers…..

Pol Pat came to power amidst the carpet and mine bombings of Cambodia,, an illegal "secret war"(secret only to the USA's people) that destabilized Cambodia. The USA's bombing of Cambodia, leading to 1/3 of Khmer population perishing/murdered. Both Kissinger and NIxon never had to face Crimes against Humanity or war criminal charges.

I’ve watched this over dozen times.

This one of the best movies I've ever watched. Thank you for the upload. Thanks to all the people who were involved in this documentary film.

Incredible documentary, thanks for posting! The music in this film is 5-star stuff.

Incredible documentary. The music is simply wonderful and this story is heartbreaking. Thank you for the work you put into this.

An amazing documentary. I can't recommend it enough.

I’m so glad to be Cambodian, and it’s so sad that most of my family that I never get to meet them. They died during that time it’s so tragic, but some of my family and my parents have survived there I know what they’re going through I understood. Also it’s so sad that a lot of famous singer like Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Sereysothea, and Pen Ron (more) were killed there in the Khmer Rouge is still heartbroken! (RIP Khmer the Legacy)

Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

finally this doc is avaible! thank you!

Thank you very much for video.

Srey No, Sat Tee Tuoy & Sra Muoy Keos are the songs introduced me to khmer music

This documentary film is so well executed whether on music or history, I wish Cambodia will return to its golden age again

this is devastating to watch thank you for making this in memory of what happened and the tragedy of those who were killed senselessly.

So what’s the real reason why Khmer still can’t get along with each other til today? Very sad to see today leader can not work together to rebuilt our country. Foreign influence is destroying our country before our very eyes. The rich and powerful turn their blind eye. Greed and ignorance is what Khmer society has become. History will repeat itself. In 50 years Khmer will become a minority living in our own land just like Khmer Krom. Very sad indeed.
