Has anyone seen the Australian film "Frankie's House" about British photojournalist Tim Page's account of the Vietnam war and the independent photographers who traveled with US troops and were able to photograph the horrors of this war and publish photos in contrast to the sanitized US press photos. The film came out in the early 1990's and I was lucky enough to have caught it back then on US station PBS in 5 or 6 part segments--- very very good film --- and haven't seen it around since and not aware of it being on video. So, I was wondering if anybody else may have saw it in Australia or the UK.

Page is also involved in 'Project Requeim' an effort to publish the photos of the combat photographers who died on the frontlines of Vietnam and Cambodia while filming the real truth of the war and indiscriminate killing. This first link has excellent photos from the book "Requiem" by those photographers. He has published another book "Another Vietnam: Pictures of the War from the Other Side" by North Vietnemese combat photographers.

"Ultimately any good war photograph becomes anti war imagery. War is against all things human, our natural internal mechanisms. War reverses that process, and it is through the media that the truth is presented. Only in today?s times, war is heavily censored." Tim Page
