From safe havens along the Thai border, the Khmer Rouge waged a guerrilla war against Vietnamese occupiers and the new Hanoi-backed government throughout the 1980s, receiving aid from China and the United States even as hundreds of thousands of Cambodians fled the violence and looming famine. Legendary East German documentarians Walter Heynowski and Gerhard Scheumann (Studio H&S) investigate that insurgency in The Jungle War (1983, 90 min). English subs. Free entrance.
