Schanberg escaped the country but Dith Pran endured years of brutality and observed the program of mass murder by government in what he characterized as the “killing fields.” Dith Pran’s story would be told in the acclaimed 1984 film “The Killing Fields” based on Schanberg’s account of Dith Pran’s experiences.
