"On Healing Land, Birds Perch" is a short documentary that tells the remarkable stories behind one of the most iconic photos in history, while acting as a portal into the “varied carols,” to borrow from Walt Whitman, of trauma and the American journey.
The story is told through the iconic Pulitzer winning photo of General Loan shooting a Vietcong, Captain Nguyen Van Lem in the head, two days after the 1968 Tet Offensive. |
