Video Edit: I heavily understate the UN's role in jailing criminals in the video, and want to clarify. A number of Khmer Rouge leaders have been to jail, including the head of S-21 and Brother Number Two, due to their efforts.

Welcome to Season Two of Rare Earth. This is our first video from Cambodia, and as you might have guessed from the thumbnail, it isn't exactly a happy story.

But, as it is impossible to understand modern Cambodia without knowing about the genocide, we feel obligated to make this the opener. Hopefully, it helps educate people on the horrors of the recent past, and how the results of instability can sometimes be worse than the war itself. We certainly grew as people while filming it.
