Little bit of info......

The Khmer Rouge was a movement to cleanse Cambodia. Cambodia is located in Asia, somewhere around Indonesia and Thailand. They had a rich culture, however the communists wanted to get rid of them so first people were sent to work camps, where they worked from sun up to sun down creating crops. Similarly to the holocaust, they were also told to dig ditches and were shot into them too. The only way to escape was to go through the jungle to various refugee camps where it was possible to be sent to America, or other places. However, it was very hard to go through the jungle because there were various land mines all over the place. People would move in large groups with "guides" who knew the jungle well and would escort them.

This is just off the top of my head, I haven't done any research yet so this might not be a hundred percent accurate but just so you kinda have a feeling what our topic is.
