The fascinating HBO documentary Underfire: The Untold Story of Pfc. Tony Vaccaro. The incredible true story of a WWII GI who did the whole Band of Brothers experience, Omaha Beach to Germany... and photographed all of it while actively engaged in battle, shooting thousands of 35mm negatives with an Argus C3. And he's still here today, mind and body still sharp, revisiting the sites of his photos. His pictures capture the ground-level GI experience of the war in remarkable detail... and he's also a very skilled photographer generally: his portraits and found images are great. Highly recommended for WWII buffs, photography geeks, and, really, anybody:

We saw this the other night. Fantastic... moving and totally genuine. The last three photographs he discussed in detail moved me to tears. The dead soldier, the dead woman and the children.... my God what a story...
