In May 1975, Jon Swain arrived at a border post between Cambodia and Thailand exhausted. For nearly three weeks, he'd been trapped in the French Embassy in Phnom Penh not knowing whether he'd get out alive. In the years that followed, millions of Cambodians were murdered or driven from their homes by the Khmer Rouge. Many of those who survived the terror found their way across that same frontier, but not to freedom. They were trapped in a refugee limbo. Now as the civil war threatens to intensify in the wake of the Vietnamese pull out, Swain - 1989 International Reporter of the Year - retraces his steps to the frontier to report on the lost people who exist in its shadow.
