Real Dictators - The Last Part of the Pol Pot Story

The human caravan covers just eight miles over five days. The roadsides fill with the abandoned sick and elderly. Pregnant women give birth on patches of rough ground, keeping their distance from corpses. This is what year zero looks like. By the time this death march is complete, some 20,000 people will have perished.

But how does a man with so much blood on his hands manage to evade true justice? That's next time on Real Dictator.
