Our Reflection On Mr.Bills Visit

Our Reflection On Mr.Bills Visit

We thought that it was really special that Mr. Bill came to visit because not many people  get to see the videos that Mr. Bill showed us and because not many young people know about Pol Pot and what happened.

We learnt that when people didn't know what the Khmer Rouge would do to them they were so happy that the war was over and that the Khmer Rouge would take care of them. We also learnt Mr.Bills job was to find the truth of Khmer Rouge so it didn't happen again, some people hid from the Khmer Rouge and didn't leave Phnom Penh but the kids were alone and homeless. And that the Khmer Rouge took videos, pictures, docs and commands and they didn't burn those things for people not to know about Khmer Rouge, because they thought pol pot would last for ever.We learnt that in Cambodia there was 200 jails.

What amazed us was that they didn't burn the evidence and Khmer Rouge was so stronger than the Cambodian army. Also the Khmer Rouge killed everybody who was intelligent like teachers, doctors or people who were really smart.

Why did Khmer Rouge start?

Who started the Khmer Rouge?

Why did the Khmer Rouge video what they did if they did not want anyone to know about it?

If people were made to be farmers why did some of them become film makers and video what was happening?
