America's involvement/incursion/bombing of Cambodia and the results--Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. It's a very good film about the relationship of NYT reporter and his Cambodian translator and newspaper collaborator. The NYT reporter is accused, when his Cambodian partner cannot escape, of endangering the man's life to further his own career. The charge -- all in all -- seems likely true, but the escape of the Cambodian from the Khmer Rouge takes some of the sting out.
Very good movie. Very good reminder of a low point in American history.
