The 2001 documentary War Photographerwas just released on DVD this past Tuesday, and Kong reccomends it to anyone who can get it.
The movie is about the war photographer James Nachtwey. The film shows him at work, interviews of him, interviews of some collegues and friends, and his photography (of course). It's a mesmerizing and sometimes uncomfortable film to watch. It's amazing to see the all of the horror that this man has photographed, and equally riviting to hear his motivations and determination. To say that the documentary is unsettling is an understatement, but even if you prefer lighter fare this is a movie worth watching. It's one of those few films that Kong thinks everyone should see.
Kong wishes he could say more, but trying to convey in words what Nachtwey conveys in photos is simply impossible.
