VIETNAM War’s Most Impactful Photographer / Philip Jones Griffiths

Discover the powerful legacy of Philip Jones Griffiths, one of the most influential conflict and documentary photographers of the 20th century. This video explores how Griffiths' photojournalism—especially his groundbreaking book Vietnam Inc.—helped reshape global perceptions of the Vietnam War. More than just a war photographer, Griffiths combined stunning visuals with searing written insight, making him a rare voice who documented not only what war looked like, but what it meant. From his early work in Britain during the 1950s to his photographic impact in Algeria, Vietnam, and over 140 countries, Griffiths redefined what photojournalism could accomplish. As the longest-standing president of Magnum Photos, his legacy also shaped the world of street and documentary photography for generations. We dive deep into his ethics, philosophy, and long-term projects—including his haunting Agent Orange series—to uncover how his work continues to resonate today. Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, historian, or simply someone who wants to understand the truth behind the image, this is a story you don't want to miss.
