Verges is in love with his own hate. He sees hypocrisy everywhere and like a spoiled brat wants to tear everything done. And so he supports dictators and mass murderers in the the name of justice.
He also asserts that the Cambodian genocide under his friend Pol Pot did not happen and blames the Americans for most of the damage.
The fact that over one quarter of Cambodia's population perished under Pol Pot's rule - the fact that Pol Pot's insane policies drove the population to utter starvation - the fact that Pol Pot's regime actively conducted mass imprisonment, torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of its own people - including children - does not bother Verges who still admires Pol Pot.
This film does not press Verges on such hard questions. Its an utter waste of time and only serves as a limelight for his overwhelming ego.
