「キリング・フィールド」のプランが死去

Dith Pran, a photojournalist for The New York Times whose gruesome ordeal in the killing fields of Cambodia was re-created in a 1984 movie that gave him an eminence he tenaciously used to press for his people’s rights, died in New Brunswick, N.J., on Sunday. He was 65 and lived in Woodbridge, N.J. The cause was pancreatic cancer, which had spread, said his friend Sydney H. Schanberg.

 映画「キリング・フィールド」のモデルとなったカンボジア人ジャーナリストのディス・プラン(Dith Pran)が死去。膵臓ガンだったらしい。シドニー・シャインバーグがコメントしている。終生の親友だったんだな。
