The Killing Fields
94
A New York Times reporter and his Cambodian interpreter cover the fall of Phnom Penh, but when the Khmer Rouge takes power, the interpreter is left behind to face the killing fields alone.
Why watch: Haing S. Ngor won the Oscar with zero acting experience. He was himself a Khmer Rouge survivor.
