StrangelandAuthor: Audiochuck Western Sound
STRANGELAND from audiochuck is an investigative series that examines cases in immigrant neighborhoods. Season 3: The Killing Fields of L.A. is hosted by Ben Adair and Mayly Tao. In 1996, a Cambodian refugee was gunned down in an alley in L.A.s Chinatown. But this wasnt a typical murder. The victim was Haing Ngor, an Oscar-winning actor and humanitarian. Many Cambodians believe Ngor was assassinated over his role in The Killing Fields a film that depicted the Khmer Rouges reign of terror. Three teenage gang members were convicted and sentenced to decades in prison for murder. Yet to this day, the Cambodian community remains unconvinced of the boys guilt. Because the thousands of dollars in cash found on Ngor didnt square with the LAPDs story, and multiple witnesses said investigators coerced their testimony. In this season of Strangeland, journalist Ben Adair and Cambodian-American podcaster Mayly Tao piece through Haing Ngors journey from genocide survivor to Hollywood star to murder victim and re-investigate the LAPDs case to find out if justice was lost in translation. Strangeland is produced by Western Sound. Language: en Genres: True Crime Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
