The Road to Freedom is loosely based on the fate of Errol Flynn’s only son Sean Flynn who, with Dana Stone, was captured and allegedly killed by the Khmer Rouger, the ruling party in Cambodia ruled by Pol Pot in 1970. Sean was Errol Flynn’s only son and since his disappearance, has become a celebrated war casualty. The Clash sang about him. Perry Deane Young’s book Two of the Missing is a non-fiction book about them. What happened to him and Dana remains a mystery.
