A 1990 followup to Pilger's documentary from the previous year. It details how Western governments (including Thatcher and Bush senior) were arming and supporting the Khmer Rouge, who at the time this documentary was made were on the cusp of retaking Cambodia and beginning a second genocide.

"There are times when one tragedy, one crime tells us how a whole system works behind its democractic facade, and helps us understand how much of the world is run for the benefit of the powerful and how governments often justify their actions with lies."
