The late Hal Buell remembered the day the Associated Press received Eddie Adams’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo, “Saigon Ex*****on”.

Taken during the Vietnam War, the image became one of the most influential and devastating photographs of the 20th century.

But behind the photograph is a story far more complex than a single frame.

“Saigon Story: Two Shootings in the Forest Kingdom” carefully uncovers the truth behind the image, revealing the intimate connection between two families and the lasting impact of a moment frozen in time.
