I watched part of it, seemed interesting enough. Many of the people criticizing it are doing so for political reasons and wouldn't have any idea how accurate it is as they know next to nothing about the backstory.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I’ve watched about the first 30 minutes. I’ll try and get through the rest tomorrow. I’m interested to see if the Chinese support for the Pol Pot regime is mentioned at all. I suspect it won’t be. Most documentaries about the Pol Pot regime seem to contain the obligatory footage of a smiley Pol Pot meeting some decrepit, androgynous looking Chinese communist leader.
I noticed that in about the opening minute, there is an image from the cover of a Newsweek magazine from 1978. It’s a photo of a Khmer Rouge soldier executing a prisoner with an axe or hoe. It’s been established that this photo, and others in the series, are fakes. The photos first appeared in a right-wing Thai newspaper a couple of days before a Thai election in 1976. The Bangkok Post refused to run the photos because they knew they were fake. After they published an article denouncing the photos as fake, a Thai intelligence officer admitted that he had staged the photos in Thailand. It didn’t stop Time, Newsweek, and many western media outlets using the photos. And the producers of this film are either ignorant or don’t think attention to detail is important.

its was good propaganda piece, makes he into the savior he thinks he is and makes the Vietnamese into "top blokes"
What would Cambodia be, if he had not gone and asked the Vietnamese to assist him??
Khmer gf hated it

Just watched it and enjoyed it very much.
Note: I invited my 14 yo son to watch as well. As soon as it started he knew what it was about and said, "my teacher said that if we watch this we shouldn't have the volume too high". (teacher being Khmer teacher at Khmer school)
