| An upsetting visit to the Choeung Ek killing fields where they've discovered almost 9000 bodies after the fall of Khmer Rouge regime |
 |
| This was probably the most upsetting part of the fields |
 |
| The Buddhist stupa in the middle contains around 5000 human skulls |
 |
| Some of the skulls have clear signs of the execution method |
 |
| The next day it was time for another upsetting visit to the S-21 prison |
