Description

In 1996, Oscar-winning actor and Khmer rouge survivor Haing S. Ngor was gunned down outside his home in Los Angeles.

His murder gave rise to a conspiracy theory - that the Khmer Rouge sent assassins to silence their most famous critic.

This episode dismantles that myth - and examines how it stopped the right questions from being asked.

⚠️ Contains descriptions of Khmer Rouge torture and violence.
