Film Synopsis

A woman in Washington state conceals the scars of a brutal family secret. A veteran journalist in Saigon helps two siblings solve a painful wartime mystery. And a photograph becomes so iconic that it takes on a life of its own. Spanning decades and continents, 'Saigon Story: Two Shootings in the Forest Kingdom' traces the intimate connection between two families and Eddie Adams' Saigon Execution, an image that changed the world's perception of the Vietnam War.
