This is the story of one of the greatest cinecameramen and journalists of recent years. From the early 1960s until he was killed in September 1985, Neil Davis brought images of war on three continents to the world's television screens. He went into the field with Viet Cong as well as American Forces in Vietnam, and filmed the war in Cambodia and Laos. But his legendary luck ran out on the streets of Bangkok in 1985 when a burst of shrapnel cut him down as he filmed an attempted coup d'etat. Always the professional, Davis died in front of his own camera which continued to record him being dragged away from the scene by his friend Gary Burns of Visnews.
