I hope that everyone in the world knows this history, and such a tragic incident will never happen again.

I feel that the style is very similar to "Escape from Tehran", a news documentary-like picture style, the creation of the local scene at that time is amazing, and the details are extremely fine and exquisite. The level is already so amazing! Disclosing that inhumane history, let the world take history as a mirror, just for this reason, we should recommend this film. The downside is that the account of the Khmer Rouge autocracy is not comprehensive enough. There are only a few scenes in the second half that follow the encounter of the protagonist. It would be better if a more comprehensive and in-depth presentation and analysis of this history can be done. .

Sydney Schanberg: As they pondered their options in the White House, the men who decided to bomb and then to invade Cambodia concerned themselves with many things: great power conflicts and collapsing dominoes, looking tough and dangerous to the North Vietnamese, relieving pressure on the American troop withdrawal from the South. They had domestic concerns, as well, which helps explain why they kept the bombing of Cambodia a secret for as long as they could. And they may be assumed not to have ignored self-interest in their own careers. But they specifically were not concerned with, were the Cambodians themselves. Not the people, not the society, not the country. Except in the abstract as instruments of policy. Dith Pran and I tried to record and bring home here the concrete consequences of these decisions to real people - to human beings, the people left out of the Administration's plans, but, who paid the price and took the beating for them.
