Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

In 1968, in 1/500th of a second, Eddie Adams photographed a Saigon police chief, General Nygoc Loan, shooting a Vietcong guerilla point black. The photo brought Adams fame and a Pulitzer, but he was haunted by the man he had vilified. Forty years later, Eddie visits General Loan in a pizza shop in Virginia. Scribbled on the wall of a bathroom stall are the words 'we know who you are, you fucker!' Eddie's camera was his most powerful weapon, but it failed to protect him from himself.
