Description

Neil Davis as a cameraman correspondent describes personal repercussions after filming 'the man with the white flag' incident; how it was eventually eclipsed by the My Lai massacre; compares his editing to that of the Television networks; why he continued working for Visnews despite United States offers; why he worked for NBC filming the fall of Saigon. [Original negative cut for use in 'Frontline'; title filler 'Scene extracted' spliced in where the cuts was made; Interview concludes as sound only after film runs out.]
