Yes, it based on true events.

Yes, I know. Shocking that something like that happened not so long ago. The ideas of that regime were based on pure insanity.

I saw "The Killing Fields" in Guyana in the late 1980s. It's about the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia in the mid-1970s.
Sunday night I watched a DVD version of the movie "Sometimes in April." It shows in horrifying graphic details the Hutu-led genocide against the Tutsi people in Rwanda in 1994.
Both movies forcefully make the point that man can be really cruel to his fellow man.

I'm going to see that next.

Al quaeda was behind those.

Watch "Hotel Rhwanda" and "Black Hawk Down" when you have a chance. (That's if you haven't seen them already).

Thank you. I haven't. Might be time for a Netflix membership.

I have net flex but you wouldn't be to see the two movies instantly. You may have to order the DVD from them. Net flex has its advantages and disadvantages, but it is far cheaper than cable if you're watch instantly.

i have basic cable, no movie channels (at $100 bucks a month!). i'm not really an avid movie watcher, but some movies, like the killing fields and likely those you've recommended are must sees.

You're paying too much for cable. You can save $1,100.00 a year if you take net flex with an internet ready TV, and you're good to go. A nice LCD/HD may cause about $500.00 when on sale. I don't know much about the current prices, but the folks here can help you with that.

I don't have internet service at home, but an internet ready tv might be something to think about.

I get more value for my money from an internet hookup than cable.
