What happened to the man on fire? In 2017, a single photo brought worldwide attention to the brutality of frontline protests in Venezuela. It was taken by Ronaldo Schemidt, this is the story.

In Developing News, VICE interviews photographers whose photos have become synonymous with important world events. The photographers relive the story behind the photos, telling their tales from the front line of battlefields and hospitals, and reflecting on their journey to becoming a photographer.

We hear how they sought out to document the truth, even risking their lives, to provide proof of events that stay long after the memories fade.
