An Unlikely Weapon: The Story of AP Photographer Eddie Adams Screens at Palm Springs Film Festival

If rock and roll had a brother, it would be Eddie Adams.

Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, An Unlikely Weapon is the chilling story behind a photograph that some say ended the Vietnam War. In 1968, while covering the war for the Associated Press, Eddie Adams photographed a Saigon police chief, General Nguyen Nygoc Loan, shooting a Vietcong guerilla point blank. Ironically, it was Adams’ shot that was heard around the world, taken at 1/500th of a second! The photo brought Adams’ fame and a Pulitzer, but the man he had vilified haunted him. Adams would later say, “Two lives were destroyed that day – the victim’s and the general.” Yet others would say, three lives were destroyed. The film will be premiering at the Palm Springs Film Festival on January 14th, 2009 at 4:00 PM.
