    On March 18th, 1970, Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia was deposed as Head of State by Prime Minister, Lon Nol. From this point forward, the beautiful nation of Cambodia was thrust in to a devastating transition, which eventually brought about massive genocide. As this happened, many journalists of the Vietnam War found themselves documenting what they rightfully perceived as impending destruction at the hands of invading NVA, VC, and Khmer Rouge forces. But as a result of this journalistic courage, many were captured and never heard from again.

    A documentary is currently being financed, called LOST BROTHERS, which will follow renowned photojournalist, Tim Page, in his quest to discover the fate of these missing surveyors of the truth who were captured in Cambodia. Page has been searching for every man, especially his two good friends, Sean Flynn (son of actor, Errol Flynn) and Dana Stone, for over forty years.

    If this project sounds at all interesting to you, please go to www.Kickstarter.com, enter LOST BROTHERS in to the search engine, and help us raise the funds needed to make this search a reality.

    The fate of the missing is out there...

    Page's search for Sean Flynn is documented in his book "Derailed in Uncle Ho's Victory Garden".. A great read by the way.

    Too Many Tourists a Concern in Cambodian ‘Killing Fields’
    April 01, 2017 — The number of tourists visiting Cambodia’s genocide sites has more than tripled during the last 10 years, raising concerns that commercialism is compromising efforts to preserve memorials for 2 million people who perished here under Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge.
