This short documentary tells the remarkable stories behind one of the most iconic photos in history. This is the first documentary, from a Vietnamese born filmmaker, that explores the continuing aftershocks of the Vietnam War from the perspectives of both sides of the war. The story is told through the iconic Pulitzer winning photo of General Loan shooting a Vietcong, Captain Nguyen Van Lem in the head, two days after the 1968 Tet Offensive. A discussion and audience Q&A will follow the film.
