Victims were often beaten to death with blunt instruments or asphyxiated with plastic bags to save ammunition. It is estimated that between 1.5 and 2 million people died from execution, starvation, or forced labor. Key Memorial Sites
Anyone associated with the previous government or military.
Located near Phnom Penh, it is the best-known killing field, featuring a memorial stupa filled with over 8,000 human skulls. Tuol Sleng Prison Museum ClosedPhnom Penh, Cambodia
They purged "enemies" of the state, including intellectuals, religious leaders, ethnic minorities, and anyone with perceived Western ties—often simply for wearing glasses or speaking a foreign language.
The result was a four-year apocalypse. An estimated two million Cambodians—a quarter of the population—died from starvation, forced labor, torture, or summary execution. Intellectuals, doctors, teachers, journalists, and anyone wearing glasses (deemed a symbol of bourgeois learning) were systematically eliminated. The infamous Tuol Sleng prison (S-21) and the killing fields of Choeung Ek became the regime’s architecture of death. Joffé’s film does not merely depict these horrors; it drags the viewer through their mud, their fever, and their unyielding silence.
Walking the tranquil path around the stupa, you will encounter depressions in the earth. These are the exhumed mass graves. Signs indicate exactly what excavators found: Grave #1: 450 bodies. Grave #6: 105 bodies, mostly women and children. The "Killing Tree" still stands at the edge of the field—a large, gnarled tree against which infants were brutally smashed before being thrown into shallow pits.
The Khmer Rouge's use of forced labor, starvation, and disease as tools of genocide also contributed significantly to the staggering death toll. Prisoners were forced to dig their own graves, and in some cases, were buried alive. The regime's use of psychological torture, including forced confessions and public humiliation, further exacerbated the trauma inflicted on the population.
To understand the Killing Fields, one must look at the rise of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, better known as the Khmer Rouge. Led by Pol Pot, the regime seized power in April 1975 following a bitter civil war. Their vision was a radical, agrarian utopia—a "Year Zero" that would involve the total destruction of modern society.
While there are over 20,000 mass grave sites across Cambodia, is the best known. Located about 15 kilometers from Phnom Penh, it served as the final destination for prisoners from S-21.
