Much lauded and highly successful factual drama about American journalist Sydney Schanberg and his Cambodian interpreter, Dith Pran. Eventually, all westerners flee while Pran must face the ministrations of the incoming Khmer Rouge regime. Schanberg does his utmost to reunite Dith and his estranged family (now in America), but will he succeed?
None of the Cambodian dialogue is subtitled. A glimpse of the wikipedia article on the film is recommended to get an idea of the historical background. It's a good film, but Apocalype Now mk II it is not.
