This documentary turns the lens on the people behind the camera. Seven Kiwi news and current affairs camera operators — Ross Kenward, Michael Lacoste, Geoff Mackley, Amanda Berkhan, Warren Armstrong, Chris Jones and Joe Morgan — reveal what it’s like to stand in the middle of the action, behind the viewfinder. Across their careers, they've covered conflict abroad, from the Bali bombings and the East Timor crisis to riots in Peshawar. While, back home, their cameras have captured everything from All Blacks greats to police pursuits. Other assignments have placed them in the path of natural disasters and volcanic eruptions — both here and abroad.
