The incredible story of the world's youngest photojournalist
By 1968, 12-year-old Lo Manh Hung (aka Jimmy) was already a seasoned photographer, following his photojournalist father into some of the Vietnam War's most dangerous situations. Their work documented the protracted and bloody conflict in their homeland for national and international news outlets. The young boy eventually became the family's main breadwinner - constantly put his life on the line to provide his family with a vital means of survival. It's thought that many of his negatives were lost during the fall of Saigon, as his life was about to enter a new chapter far from his native country. Video produced and narrated by Howard Timberlake. Edited by Tom Heyden. Made with thanks to Jimmy's family including Vincent Ly and Cindy Vong.

Richard III: The 'accidental' photo of a long-lost king
In 2012, an incredible archaeological detective story was unfolding in a car park in England - the discovery of King Richard III, one of England's most famous, and most vilified, monarchs. He was the last Plantagenet ruler of England and, in 1485, became the last English king to die in battle - an event that signifies a major milestone in English history. For hundreds of years, his burial location was considered lost to history, until an 'accidental' photo - in some ways the king's first photographic portrait - helped announce a stunning breakthrough. Made with thanks to Mathew Morris and the University of Leicester Archaeological Services.
