How did Pol Pot turn 1970s Cambodia into a living nightmare? Under his brutal regime, nearly a quarter of the population was wiped out through execution, starvation, and forced labor in his infamous “killing fields.” Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, tells the true story of Pol Pot’s reign of terror.

Plaster Foundation Playlist: Free Enterprise Will Set You Free, which educates Americans on the virtues of our nation's founding principles and the consequences of straying from them.
