Collection relating to Neil Davis, war cameraman and correspondent
Description
Original caption: "On the set of a Khmer movie with my sweetie - Som Van Sou Dany (nickname - my nickname - for her was Nakrou 'lady teacher', she was also a part-time teacher at a Buddhist pagoda school). I always teased Dany about her constantly smiling face - so in this photograph she is in the midst of (simulated) lang-dog look. Her leading man (Van Vanak) in the movie is with her."
