Robert King, a naïve 24-year old budding war photographer sets out to become the youngest ever Pulitzer Prize winner for his photojournalism. In this extraordinary and compelling film Robert King resembles a heroic misfit straight out of the pages of Evelyn Waughs Scoop, thrown into the heart of battle, struggling to adapt to the brutal environment he finds himself in.
