Interesting documentary right now on military history channel, about the photojournalists who covered the Vietnam conflict. It will be shown a few more times tomorrow.
 
I remember a few years ago they made a movie called The Road to Freedom loosely based on Sean Flynn and Dana Stone as well as a movie that was in development about Dickey Chapelle that was supposed to star Jennifer Aniston.
 
Great film, thanks for sharing. So, has anyone here seen the "Requiem" book mentioned?

As noted, Capa was indeed in Vietnam while it was part of French Indo-China. Since the program began by spending a considerable amount of time discussing a French photographer working at Dien Bien Phu (1954, the same year Capa died), it seemed a rather startling oversight.
 
"Requiem" was published in 1997 and is an incredible collection of photos by and stories of the PJs who were killed in Indo China from the time of the French through the American involvement.
