Why was dith pran's work in cambodia significant?

Dith Pran was a Cambodian photographer best known as a refugee and survivor of the Cambodian Genocide.

In 1975, Pran and the New York Times reporter, Sydney Schanberg, stayed in Cambodia to cover the fall of the capital, Phnom Penh, into the hands of the communist guerrilla of the "Khmer Rouge." Schanberg and other foreign journalists were allowed to leave the country, but not Pran. When thousands of Cambodians were forced to work in forced labor camps, Pran endured four years of famine and torture before escaping to Thailand on October 3, 1979. A year later he moved to the United States. In 1976 the American journalist Sydney Schanberg won the Pulitzer Prize for his chronicles in Indochina. Upon receiving the award, he dedicated it to his colleague, still supposedly disappeared in the jungles of Cambodia.

Pran coined the expression "Killing Fields" to refer to the groups of bodies and bones of the victims he encountered during his trip of more than 40 miles. His three brothers, his father and some fifty direct relatives died in Cambodia.

Since 1980, Pran worked as a photojournalist for the New York Times in the United States. He also carried out several campaigns in favor of the recognition of the victims of the Cambodian Genocide, especially as founder and president of the "The Dith Pran Holocaust Awareness Project". In 1998 he was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and the Excellence Award from the New York International Center.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
