- Released in 1984, The Killing Fields is a British biographical drama film directed by Roland Joffé.
- It is based on the real-life experiences of Sydney Schanberg, a journalist for The New York Times, during the Cambodian Civil War.
- The movie stars Sam Waterston as Sydney Schanberg and Haing S. Ngor as Dith Pran, Schanberg’s Cambodian colleague and friend.
- Haing S. Ngor, who played Dith Pran, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his powerful and emotional performance.
New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg is on assignment covering the Cambodian Civil War, with the help of local interpreter Dith Pran and American photojournalist Al Rockoff. When the U.S. Army pulls out amid escalating violence, Schanberg makes exit arrangements for Pran and his family.
By telling his story, and by respecting it, "The Killing Fields" becomes a film of an altogether higher order than the Hollywood revenge thrillers. The movie begins in the early days of the journalistic coverage of Schanberg.
