Genocide survivor. Refugee. Oscar® winner. “The Killing Fields Of Dr. Haing S. Ngor“ tells the dramatic story about arguably the most recognized survivor of the Cambodian genocide – an unlikely Oscar® winner who became a worldwide ambassador for truth and justice in his homeland, only to be murdered in a Los Angeles Chinatown alley. Produced, directed, written, and edited by Oscar®-nominated and triple-Sundance award-winning filmmaker Arthur Dong, “The Killing Fields of Dr. Haing S. Ngor“ uses an iconic movie, “The Killing Fields“, as a springboard to combine history and biography into a dramatic narrative. Through an inspired blend of animation, archival material, and newly shot footage – anchored by Ngor’s powerful autobiography – the years encapsulating the Khmer Rouge’s tyrannical rule over Cambodia are experienced though a politically charged transnational journey of love, loss and reconciliation. “GRADE A! Gripping biography of Oscar winner. Ngor’s story of survival, perseverance and love ¬– for his country, its people and his wife – is touching, in a way uplifting, and, ultimately, sad. It couldn’t have been better film that needs to be seen as both a biography and the story of genocide and political upheaval in Cambodia decades ago that continues to impact the country today.“ – Lincoln Journal Star Visit the official website:
