An incredible story, really. This was definitely the most moving observation:
Calling friends in Budapest from Vienna, Miko was shocked to learn that the Soviets had found and confiscated the footage in his locker and were using it to identify people."I felt real bad about this because I never thought about that," he said on the History Channel program. "Lots of people went to jail because of my footage, so I think in a way I did a lot of damage."

It is interesting to think how the historical moment has changed due to technology -- these days there would be hundreds of filmers using all sorts of equipment -- and how it hasn't, due to unequal access to such technology.
