Den film skal jeg se


Inspired by the true story of a merchant vessel operating in the Mekong River Delta in 2011 that was attacked by bandits leaving 13 people dead.

The film, directed by Dante Lam and due to open on Friday in Hong Kong, concerns the massacre in the Golden Triangle area of the river on Oct 5, 2011 when 13 Chinese crew members from two cargo ships were brutally killed by a Myanmar drug-trafficking ring



A Hong Kong-Chinese action film re-enacting the murder of 13 Chinese sailors on the Mekong River in 2011 by a notorious Myanmar drug kingpin will be banned from being screened in Thailand if it is found to "damage" the country, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said Tuesday.

With the help of Thai and Lao authorities, Chinese police brought the prime suspect from Myanmar, Naw Kham, to justice, along with his accomplices.

Naw Kham, an alleged drug kingpin in the Golden Triangle, and his gang were found guilty of attacking the two Chinese cargo ships in collusion with Thai soldiers in the Chiang Rai section of the river, after kidnapping other Chinese sailors and holding their ships for ransom earlier the same year, the court said.

During his trial, Naw Kham blamed Thai soldiers for the murders. He later pleaded guilty to the charges, before changing his plea again at the appeal hearing, Chinese state media reports said.

He was executed in March 2013 in China along with three accomplices, including a Thai national, for murder.

The executions were carried out by lethal injection by a court in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province.
