Saw it for the first time this weekend...one that i'm glad i saw and would definitely never see again

Agreed.... one of those movies everyone should see, but no one wants to see again..... kind of like Schindler's List.

A little trivia (my apologies if this is common knowledge).

The actor who played Dith Pran was one Haing Ngor. He was a doctor from Cambodia who was imprisoned by the KR. Fortunately, he never let on that he was an educated man. Somehow, he made it out, and eventually came to the US.

He had some acting success after The Killing Fields. Unfortunately, he was shot and killed by gang members during a robbery attempt. Imagine actually surviving the horror of that genocide, only to die over a few bucks in sunny California.
