Actress-turned-director Angelina Jolie made 'First They Killed My Father' - which is based on author Lung Ung's account of the Khmer Rouge 1975-79 regime - in the Asian country, and though it depicts an incredibly difficult period in history, she wants viewers to see past that and embrace the "beautiful" land and its people. She tells Psychologies magazine: "I love this country so much and I hope that when people see the film, they don't just see the war and the suffering, but they get to really know this Cambodian family. My wish is that they see the beautiful culture, language and talented artists."
