Ep 12 of 12: Heroes and Villains

AUDIOCHUCK | WESTERN SOUND
About this episode

The story told at trial and in the press is that a Cambodian national hero was senselessly gunned down by three gang members. Over time, the known facts of the Haing Ngor case have been altered – or discarded – to fit that hero-and-villains narrative. So we pick it apart and offer a full picture of the four lives who tragically intersected on a dark night in Los Angeles.

Strangeland is an audiochuck production.
