A major film, co-written and directed by Angelina Jolie Until the
age of five, Loung Ung lived in Phnom Penh, one of seven children
of a high-ranking government official. She was a precocious child
who loved the open city markets, fried crickets, chicken fights and
being cheeky to her parents. When Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge army
stormed into Phnom Penh in April 1975, Loung's family fled their
home and were eventually forced to disperse to survive. Loung was
trained as a child soldier while her brothers and sisters were sent
to labour camps. The surviving siblings were only finally reunited
after the Vietnamese penetrated Cambodia and started to destroy the
Khmer Rouge. Bolstered by the bravery of one brother, the vision of
the others and the gentle kindness of her sister, Loung forged on
to create for herself a courageous new life. First They Killed My
Father is an unforgettable book told through the voice of the young
and fearless Loung. It is a shocking and tragic tale of a girl who
was determined to survive despite the odds.
