Directed by Roland Joffé and brilliantly scripted by Bruce Robinson (Withnail and I), THE KILLING FIELDS is based on the true story of the relationship between Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterston), a Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent and Dith Pran (Haing S. Ngor), the Cambodian aide who remains behind following the evacuation of Cambodian citizens by the US army.
