About this audio guide
This guide to the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City centers on Requiem, a gallery of photographs shot by journalists who never made it home, from Dickey Chappelle to Larry Burrows to a Cambodian photographer named Sou Vichith. It follows two survivors, Tim Page and Horst Faas, as they spent years afterward tracking down these last frames, from Hanoi's archives to shoeboxes in family attics, sifting through wire-service prints and small local papers from both sides of the war. Take a slow pass along this wall, reading each name and outlet before you move on.
