Nine Men Down

By summer's end 1970, in a forgotten corner of the first televised war, 25 journalists covering the Cambodian chapter of the Vietnam War went missing or were confirmed killed. This is the story of a few of them. On May 31, nine members of a CBS/NBC news team went looking for a story. What they found was execution--their own! What cameraman Kurt Volkert found was a mission. Volkert felt he should have been with the team that day, and spent the next 20 years fighting to bring his dead friends home. Only one man remains missing--he who took Kurt's place that fateful day.
