MOVIES - June 22, 1987

Cambodian actor Dr. Haing Ngor, who starred in “The Killing Fields”--a film about the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge--said he would set up a hospital in Thailand for Cambodian refugees. Ngor, a doctor who fled to Thailand in 1979, said the hospital would train refugee paramedics to work among the more than 250,000 Cambodians living in makeshift camps here. The Khmer Rouge’s violent rule resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979.
