Information
My Asian Heart
Broadcast: 08/08/2010
Director/Camera: David Bradbury
Narrator: Mike Rubbo
Producer: Carmelo Musca

Oscar-nominated filmmaker David Bradbury follows Australian photojournalist Philip Blenkinsop in
this heart-pounding documentary as he journeys through Asia\'s chaotic cities and deadly jungles.
Known in the business as a \'concerned photographer\', Blenkinsop is the last of a dying breed, going
to extremes to expose human rights abuses and forgotten wars in south-east Asia. This level of
commitment makes him one of the world\'s top war and conflict photographers, his images winning many
awards, yet he is hardly known in Australia.

My Asian Heart follows award winning photojournalist Philip Blenkinsop on assignment to China,
setting up his next exhibition. Capturing Nepal during the pro democracy uprisings. And reflecting
on the plight of the Hmong “survivors” who continue to haunt him. In Philip’s world there’s constant
tension between his artistic commitments and the drive to report on world conflicts. From the
director of the Academy award nominated film Frontline about the legendary Vietnam war news
cameraman Neil Davis, David Bradbury’s film, My Asian Heart.

Philip should stop being a luddite using film and go digital. He wastes a lot of time
trying to find places to develop his film. Since he goes to unstable areas in the world,
this is only going to get worse.

Amazing documentary and fantastic photographer. If you're into photography/photojournalism you
should watch this.

When it comes to black&white, digital still can't beat film, so he may be worried how big his balls
are, but he's doing the right thing.
