Even if you've seen "The Killing Fields", it's still really good to see "Swimming to Cambodia", as famous monologist (and "Killing Fields" co-star) Spalding Gray explains what all led to the Cambodian genocide. And he manages to make it all humorous! How many people could actually manage to accomplish that?!
Seeing how energetic Spalding Gray was when doing these things, it's all the more surprising that he committed suicide three years ago. But he did, and so this documentary is a relic of his unusual wit. And it's certainly one that I recommend. Jonathan Demme directed a really good one here.
