About this product

Product Information

Roland Joffé's unflinching drama recounts the true story of New York Times journalist Sidney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) and Cambodian journalist and translator Dith Pran (Haing S. Ngor), who found themselves trapped in the nightmare of the Khmer Rouge revolution in Cambodia. While stationed in Phnom Penh in the early 1970s, Schanberg and Pran become close friends and confidants, negotiating and writing many groundbreaking stories. When the ruling Lon Nol government is overthrown by the Khmer Rouge, the country is turned upside down--killing is common in the streets, and children become gun-toting informants. Schanberg is forced to flee the country, with his fellow American photographer Al Rockoff (John Malkovich) and British journalist Jon Swain (Julian Sands). Despite their exhaustive efforts to free Pran, they have no choice but to leave him behind. Pran is forced to endure excruciating agony at the Pol Pot death camps, where any shred of individuality or dissent is beaten out of the prisoners. After years of brutal torture, Pran manages to escape and begins a long odyssey to Thailand and the border refugee camps. As Pran struggles to stay alive, Schanberg endures life in New York wracked with guilt over the loss of his good friend, desperately attempting to locate him. This haunting drama is epic in its portrayal of a war-torn country devastated by mass genocide. Images of both great horror and beauty resonate with awesome power and honesty. Joffé's first film features superb performances from a first-rate ensemble of actors, including Waterston, Sands, Malkovich, and Ngor in an Oscar-winning role.

The Killing Fields
I bought the movie to show in my History Class as part of a lesson on revolutions gone bad. I saw it when it first came out and was very impressed then. My thoughts on its quality and content haven't changed. The viewer would do well knowing something about this part of the world and its history during the sixties and seventies. One has to pay attention and watch very carefully, as much is carried in the details. The soundtrack is well matched to the movie's story; Mike Oldfield did an excellent job. The Killing Fields is based on a true story, which only makes it better in my view. It follows the lives of Sidney, a reporter from the New York Times, and Pranh, his Cambodian translator.

It is set in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge revolution and chronicles its madness. The two lead characters eventually get separated as a result of the new Kampuchian Leadership ridding itself of all foreigners and punishing their sympathizers, but reunite after much hardship on the part of Pranh. I hope you enjoy this chapter of Asian History as much as I did Marc LaDue

The Killing Fields (VHS, 1996)
This movie serves as a lesson to the world exactly what the motive and goal of communism really is. In the aftermath of the fall of Cambodian Lon Nol Government, and subsequent Khmer Rouge takeover, American journalist Sidney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) and his close associate Dith Pran (Hains S. Ngor), a Cambodian national, find themselves trapped in this political nightmare. An effort to get Pran out of Cambodia when the foreign citizens are released backfires and Pran is left to the terrors of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot prison camps and is a survivor of the killing fields, where anyone who assisted the West or was a teacher, or businessman, or dissident in any way, was taken out and murdered. Nobody knows just how many perished, but the number is surely in the millions. Pran managed to ... This movie serves as a lesson to the world exactly what the motive and goal of communism really is.

Nobody knows just how many perished, but the number is surely in the millions. Pran managed to survive and finally escape. He begins his odyssey across the war-torn country eventually reaching a Red Cross camp in Thailand and safety. In New York, Sidney has spent years exhausting every diplomatic channel to find out anything about Pran. Pran's family is in New York, having been evacuated with other families. Pran was eventually rescued an brought to America to be with his family.

Not many people know of this atrocity. Pol Pot was a really bad and disgusting leader. This is every Cambodian over the age of forty story.
