Starting from the 70s, Dutch photographer Charles 'Chas' Gerretsn has worked as a war photographer in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Chile, giving the world some unforgettable shots. The most famous is the portrait of the dictator Pinochet. After moving to Hollywood in 1975 he started shooting for different studios until 1989, when Francis Ford Coppola asked him to report everything that happens on the set of his new movie in 1976. Baris Azman's documentary Dutch Angle: Chas Gerretsen & Apocalypse Now was released after KINO Rotterdam and the Nederlands Fotomuseum collaborated together. Now, the largely undiscovered work finally comes to light.
