Summary

The 1996 Murder Of Genocide Survivor, Humanitarian, & Academy Award Winning Actor Dr. Haing Ngor

Dr. Haing Ngor came to the United States in the early 80s, along with his niece, Sophia. They both had lost their families to the Cambodian Genocide carried out by the Communist Regime the Khmer Rouge, ordered by its leader, Dictator Pol Pot. By chance, Haing landed a part in a 1984 movie about the Genocide entitled "The Killing Fields" and his performance ended up earning him a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. A little more than 10 years later, Haing would be murdered outside his Downtown Los Angeles home. Was his killing a random act of violence or could it have been an orchestrated political assassination?
