Wrong Bedfellows - Who Killed Haing Ngor?

What this episode covers

Another dimension to Haing Ngor’s life that went ignored by authorities in Los Angeles? His decision to go into politics. In the weeks before his death, Ngor told friend that he had been asked to run for high office. But he got out of it, because “it would get him killed.” And in Cambodia – the weeks surrounding Ngor’s death were especially volatile. Ngor may have been trying to right a wrong of his own making. He returned to Cambodia after "The Killing Fields,” and aligned himself with the autocratic prime minister, Hun Sen. It was a decision friends said he had come to regret.
