The story
In 1973, New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg arrives in Phnom Penh to cover the civil war between the Cambodian national army and the communist Khmer Rouge.
Schanberg is furious when the international press corps arrives with the U.S.
Pran, unharmed because he is a Cambodian civilian, negotiates the release of his friends and they flee to the French embassy where the Khmer Rouge demands all Cambodian citizens hidden inside.
