Va ser allà, al camp desfet per la guerra... dins la lluita entre el govern i les guerrilles Khmer Rouge... que vaig conèixer el meu guia i intèrpret, en Dith Pran... l'home que em canviaria la vida... i un país pel qual vaig arribar a sentir amor i pena.
It was there, amidst the fighting between government troops and the Khmer Rouge guerrillas that I met my guide and interpreter, Dith Pran a man who was to change my life in a country that I grew to love and pity.
