The Angry Skies is a documentary film that follows Dr. Blake Kerr, a New York
physician who travels to Cambodia to investigate one of the worst crimes perpetrated by
a country on its own people, the killing of over 2 million people under Pol Pots Khmer
Rouge Revolution. After infiltrating a renegade band of Khmer Rouge soldiers, Dr. Kerr
gains unprecedented access to the living architects of the Khmer Rouge Revolution,
including Nuon Chea, Brother Number Two. Interviews with human rights activists,
survivors of Tuol Sleng, and Supreme Court Judges, as well as Pol Pots telegraph
operator, child soldiers, Khmer Rouge officers and surgeons reveal how the Khmer
Rouge utilized the hatred from U.S. bombing to rise from 300 soldiers in 1968 before
U.S. bombing, to over 70,000 soldiers in 1973, enough to take over the country. The
Angry Skies offers strong parallels to current U.S. foreign policy and occupation of Iraq.
