On 9 September news cameraman Neil Davis was killed filming the attempted coup in Thailand. This programme, taken from a longer film by David Bradbury and shown as a tribute to Davis's skill and courage, includes the close-range film he shot in Vietnam that made him a legend among newsmen and brought the horrors of war home - literally - to millions of people. Davis talks about working under fire and his belief that 'it's the cameraman's job to bring the truth to the people. No matter what happens.'
