The film is based on the memoir by Loung Ung, and written by Ung and Jolie, telling the true story of Ung's escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in 1970s Cambodia. Both of her parents, two sisters, and 20 other relatives were killed. Ung managed to survive until 1980, when she and her older brother Meng and his wife escaped by boat to Thailand; they spent five months in a refugee camp before being able to relocate to Vermont.
Angelina Jolie has called Cambodia "like a second home to me," after making "Tomb Raider" there, then adopting son Maddox, now 15, from an orphanage in the country.
