It's an iconic shot from the Vietnam War -- one, more than three decades later, people still recognize. It changed the course of the war -- and it changed the course of photographer Eddie Adams' life.An Unlikely Weapon: The Eddie Adams Story, a documentary about the photographer and his photo, and the effects the latter had on the former, will be shown at the 2009 Durango Film Festival. The festival this year will be March 4 - 8. (Exact schedule has yet to be released.)

yeah, who doesn't remember the revulsion when this shot was published. i heard this viet officer was himself killed not long after this.
seems like film is the poetry of the age. we have film festivals everywhere now.
