The boy who shot the Vietnam War | BBC Global

By 1968, 12-year-old Lo Manh Hung (aka Jimmy) was already a seasoned photographer, following his photojournalist father into some of the Vietnam War's most dangerous situations.

Their work documented the protracted and bloody conflict in their homeland for national and international news outlets.

The young boy eventually became the family's main breadwinner - constantly put his life on the line to provide his family with a vital means of survival.

It's thought that many of his negatives were lost during the fall of Saigon, as his life was about to enter a new chapter far from his native country.
