    Leonard Aaronson and Anne Keegan

    Pilot for a show called “Camcorder Tonight.” This tape featured a test of having the people who submitted the videos be the hosts. For this test, Leonard Aronson and Anne Keegan show videos they shot in Cambodia and Vietnam, at times narrating over the video. The tapes provide an unfiltered look at the results of war in these two places. They visit a former school which had been a prison under the Pol Pot regime, guided by a woman who lost nearly every member of her extended family during that time; a thousand-year old temple in Vietnam which had been buried under the jungle until the late 19th century, and was in the process of being reclaimed by the jungle yet again; and a network of underground tunnels used during the Vietnam War.
