KUCI Subversity: Director Susan Morgan Cooper of An Unlikely Weapon on Vietnam War Photographer Eddie Adams
An interview with Susan Morgan Cooper, a documentary filmmaker, about her latest film, a profile of Pulitizer-Prize winning photographer Eddie Adams.
"An Unlikely Weapon," profiles the life of Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams, who shot the iconic photograph of national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan shooting to death a captured Viet Cong prisoner, Nguyen Van Lem on a Saigon street in 1968.
The photograph, capturing the shooting at the exact moment of impact, won Adams a Pulitzer Prize. The photograph was credited with turning the American public against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Adams, after the war, also documented the plight of Vietnamese refugees leaving their homeland.
