The Stringer – DC/DOX Film Festival 2025
About The Event
A courageous whistleblower steps forward with a shocking admission, setting off a gripping two-year investigation into five decades of buried secrets behind one of the Vietnam Warâs most iconic photographs. Acclaimed war photographer Gary Knight, and a small team of journalists embark on a relentless search to locate and seek justice for a man known only as âthe stringer.â
In this documentary, Director Bao Nguyen takes audiences on a thrilling hunt for the truth. Screening on June 15, from 4:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m, the film will grapple with questions of authorship, racial injustice, and journalistic ethics while shining a light on the vital yet often unrecognized contributions of freelance photographers in shaping the media landscape. Audience will also have opportunity to chat with the director and production crew post screening.
