Description

Neil Davis as a cameraman correspondent describes his opinion on the Australian Broadcasting Commission's (ABC) censorship policy; the reason for Visnews' existence; how his film was cut to present a distorted picture of the Vietnam war to Australian viewers; how Visnews wrongly believed the war was over with US withdrawal; his affinity with Asian people. [Original negative cut for use in 'Frontline'; title filler 'Scene extracted' spliced in where the cuts was made.]
