I don't really know what aspect of this topic I should focus on, it is however quite a grim and sad reminder to everyone about the atrocities that occurred in Cambodia after the Vietnam war in the mid to late 1970's. After throwing out the Americans, Cambodia's new communist government decided to rule its people with an iron fist slaughtering nearly 1\4 of its population. I think that it is important to remember what happened in the past and it should be a lesson to all of us that war, being civil or international is no way to achieve peace. I watched the movie - "The Killing Fields" which was based on the story of one man, Dith Pran, about his peril and escape from Cambodia. he recently passed away a few months ago, so i thought i would start there by focusing on his life and also the other events that took place during that time. what do you guys think? any ideas appreciated
