Ambush in Cambodia: Death of a Japanese Police Officer

In 1993, a Japanese civilian police officer taking part in a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cambodia was killed. It was the first such mission under Japan's pacifist constitution. A ceasefire was supposed to be in place, but the officer and his colleagues were attacked in an ambush. On this program, his former colleagues break more than 20 years of silence, helping to shed light on the harsh reality the men encountered.
