An Unlikely Weapon Trailer

Eddie Adams photographed 13 wars, 6 American Presidents and every cultural and historical figure of the last 50 years.

History would be changed through his lens says narrator Kiefer Sutherland.

Eddie Adams always dismissed his work. Of his Pulitzer Prize winning photograph The Saigon Execution, he said When I seen the picture, I wasnt impressed, and I'm still not impressed.

Eddie brought the American public face-to-face with the victims. says Tom Brokaw. Eddies photograph was credited with helping end the Vietnam War. Later, it was Eddies series of photographs The Boat of No Smiles that persuaded the US Congress and President Carter to allow 250 thousand Vietnamese refugees into America.

An Unlikely Weapon follows Adams life from small town newspaper to the Associated Press. From war photography to celebrity photography. From Parade
Magazine photographing Arnold Schwarzenegger in a pool with a rubber ducky and Clint Eastwood in silhouette for the movie Unforgiven. From Penthouse to Time Magazine and, to his founding of a free workshop for young photographers on his farm in upstate New York.
Despite the fame that came his way, Adams was haunted his entire life by the very photograph that defined him. I dont want to destroy anybody's life thats not my job.

The closing quote, before the credits, is from Eddie Adams:
The most powerful weapon in the world has been and can be a photograph.

It took 1/500th of a second to get the shot...
a lifetime to forget it.
