Instead of yapping on about borders you might take Tim's post as a serious heads up and have a look at the 2 hour presentation Sunday evening. I saw the hour version, rarely for me to waste my time watching war stuff at anytime let alone for an hour. But in this case I was hooked by the compelling behind the scenes look through those who were on the ground real time. Unedited! Lots of in your face "live-dead" material and direct comments by still's & TV photojournalists also reporters. An excellent documentary of material we didn't see and maybe a bit of an eye opener for those of you who've never been on the ground on a reporting - photo assignment. It also shows cameras and reporting aren't a shield anytime! :-( ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
