Underfire: The Untold Story of Pvt. Tony Vaccaro is a feature-length documentary film about Tony Vaccaro, a WWII infantryman who used his portable 35mm camera to create one of the most comprehensive and intimate records of the war. In combat for nearly a year, Tony took thousands of images, often developed in helmets at night. It wasn't until the late 90's that this extraordinary body of work was first discovered and celebrated in Europe, though in the United States Tony, who is still alive at 93, has yet to receive his due.
