A Price We Have to Pay
World Premiere
Ignacio Ezcurra, the only Argentinian journalist sent to Vietnam in 1968, vanished in the most documented war, leaving behind a single haunting photograph of his lifeless body in the streets of Saigon. The mystery of his death was left unchallenged for decades. Until now.
In a bravura feat of investigate journalist Charlottesville filmmaker Ricardo Preve (Sometime, Somewhere), uncovers unreleased documents, scours forgotten archives, and gathers testimonies from new witnesses. They challenge cover-ups and the all-encompassing power of government in war. Their work becomes an emotional excavation of buried history and an unflinching confrontation with the narratives and systems build to conceal the truth.
