Parer’s War depicts the mateship and frailty of men who fought in the Pacific
“THE truth about war lies not in peak action; it’s in the eyes of the men as they go into battle,” wrote the great combat photographer Damien Parer.
“It’s in the fear, the intense mateship, the humour; it’s in the daily detail of their lives, the casual heroism, the bloody death alongside them.” And , another singular production this year from the ABC, brings alive the story of the devoutly Catholic cameraman who always wanted to be ahead of the attacking troops so that his camera could see them as the enemy saw them.
