Sitting here watching The Killing Fields (an amazing must watch if you have not before) it occurred to me what might have happened if Dith Pran had escaped Cambodia with Sidney.
At the risk of a minor film spoiler, they tried to get Pran out by faking a passport but failed because they could not get a good picture of him for the passport.
So assume they have better film and the passport gambit works.
We still have the killing fields in Cambodia but we don't have the central character of Pran to wrap the story around, so we don't have a movie.
Does it remain a forgotten holocaust ?
