Born in 1942 in rural Cambodia, Pran was a young photojournalist when the Khmer Rouge seized power in 1975. In the years that followed, Pran witnessed firsthand the horrors of the genocide, as millions of Cambodians were killed or starved to death.

Pran himself was imprisoned in a labor camp, where he was forced to work 12 hours a day in unbearable conditions. He was beaten, starved, and tortured, but he never gave up hope.

In 1979, Pran escaped from the labor camp and made his way to Thailand. From there, he eventually made his way to the United States, where he became a citizen and a tireless advocate for human rights.

In 1985, Pran published his memoir, The Death and Life of Dith Pran. The book was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to raise awareness of the Cambodian genocide.

The Death and Life of Dith Pran is a powerful and moving account of human endurance and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of Cambodia, the Cambodian genocide, or human rights.
