WEDNESDAY 4 At the end of the 1960s Sean Flynn, the swashbuckling son of movie icon Errol Flynn, abandoned a floundering movie career and headed to Southeast Asia with his camera to document the Vietnam and Cambodia conflicts. Like many others, he never made it home. Abducted by Khmer Rouge on the Vietnamese border along with fellow photographer Dana Stone, Flynn was murdered. With Flynn throughout his final months, although not at the time of the abduction, was Tim Page. A green war photographer from London, he became close to Flynn during his four years in Vietnam before a shrapnel hit to the head put Page out of the action. He returned to Southeast Asia in 1990 to search for the bodies of Flynn and Stone, and for the true story of how they died. Along the way he made a documentary, as any true journalist might. Danger On The Edge Of Town follows Page on his quest.
