Neda............and Others

Because of cameras , we are able to capture moments in history that touch our hearts, and our minds. The most recent example is of the young woman who was killed in Iran.

Video turns woman into icon of Iran unrest - Iran- msnbc.com

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Sometimes, the subjects of the film become symbols of national pride, or national shame.

I will return to this thread to present some more examples from history.
You are welcome to add more examples, or just speak your mind.
