A new Sundance documentary, which questions the provenance of a Vietnam War icon, has set off a pitched battle between photojournalists and the filmmakers.
In the past few weeks, however, the provenance of the image has become the basis of a battle royale all its own. That battle has essentially pitted the Associated Press and a contingent of photojournalists and correspondents against a group of independent filmmakers. Their disagreement has been brought about by allegations made in a new documentary, The Stringer, which had its world premiere on Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival.
Even if the print’s supposed disappearance is understandable—after all, Nghe fled Vietnam as a refugee in 1975—its absence is still a significant gap. Ut has a wide circle of friends and allies in the photo, news, and human rights communities, some of whom have known him for decades. Over the past several days, many have been in a lather about the accusations made in the film, though most of them have yet to see the documentary for themselves.
