I Dreamed About Pol Pot
2009 Sweeden
Duration: 36 mins
Overview
In 1978, Gunnar Bergstrom was part of a small Swedish diplomatic delegation that received rare permission to visit Cambodia and meet its notorious leader, Pol Pot. When Bergstrom returned to Sweden, he publicly defended the Khmer Rouge regime, despite the terrifying reports from Cambodian refugees. Three decades later, filmmakers Michael Krotkiewski and Julia Stanislawska follow Bergstrom as he returns to Cambodia, haunted by his wrongheaded proclamations from when he was a younger man.
