For those of you who don't know him, he's the man who served as inspiration for the film The Killing Fields.
May he rest in peace. :(

"The regime of Pol Pot, bent on turning Cambodia back into a strictly agrarian society, and his Communist zealots were blamed for the deaths of nearly 2 million of Cambodia's 7 million people."
Yep.
He was "the most patriotic American photographer I've ever met, always talking about how he loves America," said Associated Press photographer Paul Sakuma, who knew Dith through their work with the Asian American Journalists Association.

I never saw The Killing Fields but I've heard of it and it sounds good. Anyone here see it?
