Cambodia is popular on the backpacker trail. With a dark history of genocide, it is surprising to hear that some tourists go to shooting ranges and fire weapons that would be inaccessible (and illegal) in their home countries.

Erin and two friends talk about this dark tourism phenomenon, and also share some of their personal stories from our own trip to Cambodia.
