Pol Pot Part 1: Tyrant in the Shadows
Real Dictators
A Tale of a Boy and a Girl in Cambodia
The boy who will become one of history's bloodiest tyrants plays the violin. He is accepted into a respected lise, but continues to struggle academically. By 19 forty eight, at the age of 23, he enrolls in a technical school where he specializes in carpentry. It's shortly after this that tsar is the recipient of an enormous piece of luck. His school puts up for grabs five scholarships to study neering in paris. As poorer students drop out of the running, sar is one of the few left standing. He secures his spot and becomes one of just 250 or so cambodians to study overseas since the beginning of the century.
