I have a film essay where i have to compare the individual and cooperative actions that were necessary for survival in Schindler's List and The Killing Fields. I kinda get the basics. But, I've never seen Schindler's List, and I ended up missing a lot of The Killing Fields. All information will be helpful. Thank you for your help

The Killing Fields Trailer (Comments off because too many off topic)
Support the Iraqi people and lets not have another killing field.
Unless the United States government, and the people who live therein, is 100 percent commited to Iraq, the killing will continue. We, the United States government, and people, were not comitted to Cambodia; therefore, the "killing fields".
Who were the rebels running across the field towards the Coca-cola factory wich was used as a field hospital?
Who was they fighting for?

or, in other words, How did the Vietnam War directly cause the Killing Fields? ( Terrible massacres by Khmer Rouge in Cambodia)
On April 17th, 1975 the Khmer Rouge, a communist guerrilla group led by Pol Pot, took power in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. They forced all city dwellers into the countryside and to labor camps. During their rule, it is estimated that 2 million Cambodians died by starvation, torture or execution. 2 million Cambodians represented approximately 30% of the Cambodian population during that time.
The Khmer Rouge turned Cambodia to year zero. They banned all institutions, including stores, banks, hospitals, schools, religion, and the family. Everyone was forced to work 12 - 14 hours a day, every day. Children were separated from their parents to work in mobile groups or as soldiers. People were fed one watery bowl of soup with a few grains of rice thrown in. Babies, children, adults and the elderly were killed everywhere. The Khmer Rouge killed people if they didn’t like them, if didn’t work hard enough, if they were educated, if they came from different ethnic groups, or if they showed sympathy when their family members were taken away to be killed. All were killed without reason. Everyone had to pledge total allegiance to Angka, the Khmer Rouge government. It was a campaign based on instilling constant fear and keeping their victims off balance.
After the Vietnamese invaded and liberated the Cambodian people from the Khmer Rouge, 600,000 Cambodians fled to Thai border camps. Ten million landmines were left in the ground, one for every person in Cambodia. The United Nations installed the largest peacekeeping mission in the world in Cambodia in 1991 to ensure free and fair elections after the withdrawal of the Vietnamese troops. Cambodia was turned upside down during the Khmer Rouge years and the country has the daunting task of healing physically, mentally and economically.
Photographs prove the Palestinian people, especially the children, a being butchered. This is a Holocaust to crush the helpless population in Palestine. Israel will pay for this action as well as the arrogant statements coming from their wicked leaders. Payback against Israel will, eventually, come. Payback, never forget these terrible people.
The whole world, except for the US, condemns Israel
