It was on BBC2 years ago, and I thought it was very good. IIRC you don't
actually see the cameraman himself- the whole film is as seen by his
camera.
FAIRLY VAGUE recollection follows.  The team start out thinking the trip
with the cameraman is pointless\funny\stupid etc. As the situation gets
more
difficult, the team start to "tell it like it is", sometimes being
filmed
unawares.  I _think_ it was made on a tiny budget, somewhere in the USA,
so
they're clearly not in Vietnam.  The nature of the story means there's
no
need for a big cast or huge SFX, so those aren't really problems.
