Two families, one photograph. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kim Nguyen unpicks the wartime secrets hidden behind Eddie Adams' infamous Saigon Execution image.

What leaves the deeper mark, a bullet or a photograph? That question runs through Saigon Story: Two Shootings in the Forest Kingdom, as Nguyen traces the elusive connection between two families whose lives collided in one of the most recognised photographs ever taken. Part history, part mystery, the film confronts what was left unsaid in the decades after the Vietnam War, following the families as buried truths rise to the surface. With a striking visual style and a detective's eye for detail, Nguyen peels back layers of memory, silence and survival, revealing how a single image can shape, distort and haunt the lives it captures. A powerful reflection on the resilience of survivors and the blurred legacy of wartime memory.
