When Dr. Haing S. Ngor was forced into labor camps by the Khmer Rouge, little did he know that he would escape four years of torture and be called upon to recreate his experiences in a film that would earn him an Academy Award (R). For the Chinese-Cambodian director, "Nothing has shaped my life as much as surviving the Pol Pot regime. I am a survivor of the Cambodian holocaust. That is who I am." And little did anyone know that some twenty years later, Dr. Ngor would be gunned down in a Los Angeles Chinatown alley. How could it be that he would survive the tyranny of the Khmer Rouge, only to be murdered by gangbangers in America?
