"They kill ev'lybody! Commune-ni. They kill ev'lybody." Thang Tran, personal interview by Jeff Kubitz, June 27, 1983, Milpitas, California 9:00 pm. Voice moves to a whisper, "They kill ev'lybody."

Excerpt from the wikipedia.org article above, "Informed that the Khmer Rouge have ordered all Cambodian citizens in the embassy to be handed over and fearing the embassy will be overrun, the embassies comply. Knowing that Pran will be imprisoned or killed, Rockoff and fellow photographer Jon Swain (Julian Sands) of The Sunday Times try to forge a British passport for Pran; the deception fails when the image of Pran on the passport photo fades to nothing, as they lack adequate photographic developer. Pran is turned over to the Khmer Rouge and is forced to live under their totalitarian regime.

Several months after returning to New York City, Schanberg is in the midst of a personal campaign to locate Pran. In Cambodia, Pran has become a forced labourer under the Khmer Rouge's "Year Zero" policy, a return to the agrarian ways of the past. Pran is also forced to attend propagandist classes where many undergo re-education. As intellectuals are made to disappear, Pran feigns simple-mindedness. Eventually, he tries to escape, but is recaptured. Before he is found by members of the Khmer Rouge, he slips into a muddy cesspool filled with rotting human corpses; in doing so, he stumbles upon the infamous killing fields of the Pol Pot regime, where as many as 2 million Cambodian citizens were murdered.

In 1976 Sydney Schanberg is awarded a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of the Cambodian conflict. At the acceptance dinner he tells the audience that half the recognition for the award belongs to Pran. Later in the restroom, he is confronted by Rockoff, who harshly accuses him of not doing enough to locate Pran and for using his friend to win the award. Schanberg defends his efforts, saying that he has contacted every humanitarian relief agency possible in the time since Pran's disappearance. Rockoff suggests that Schanberg subtly pressured Pran to remain in Cambodia because Pran was so vital to Schanberg's work. This accusation hits close to home, and Schanberg begins to wonder whether he put his own self-interest ahead of Pran's safety. He finally confesses that Pran "stayed because I wanted him to stay".

Pran is assigned to the leader of a different prison compound, a man named Phat, and charged mostly with tending to his little boy. Pran continues his self-imposed discipline of behaving as an uneducated peasant, despite several of Phat’s attempts to trick him into revealing his knowledge of both French and English. Phat begins to trust Pran and asks him to take ward of his son in the event that he is killed. The Khmer Rouge are now engaged in a border war with Vietnam. The conflict reaches Pran's region and a battle ensues between the Khmer Rouge of the compound and two jets sent to destroy the camp. After the skirmish has ended, Pran discovers that Phat's son has American money and a map leading to safety. When Phat tries to stop the younger Khmer Rouge officers from killing several of his comrades, he is ignominiously shot."

The Pulitzer prize winning photographer took the picture of and execution of a Vietnamese General executing a Viet Cong. His view at the time the people were being oppressed. The excerpt from the 'Killing Fields' was also his where he realized he was used for propaganda by socialists. Once one realizes that one is used for propaganda to put forth the murder of everyone who disagrees with the socialist takeover - there will never be peace. The only thing left in a person after such a realization is fear.

"It was my job to crawl into the tunnels with a .45 (Semi-automatic Colt Pistol) and clear them out. One night we were asleep and one of the guys was on guard. He began to fire and it woke me up fast. They threw a satchel charge into the middle of our squad. I was wounded. The others were dead. I wandered through the jungle for at least a week. I stitched these myself." Interview by Jeff Kubitz, July 3rd, 1972, with a returned American infantry soldier. Name left anonymous for good reasons these days.
