SUMMARY

Trang Bang, South Vietnam, June 8, 1972. The air force mistakenly drops napalm bombs on a temple sheltering civilians. Among the group of journalists who witnessed the tragedy, the young photographer Nick Ut took the photo of his life that day. In his lens, a naked little girl, trying to escape the flames that were devouring her. This photo, which embodies the hell of Vietnam, has been seen around the world; it continues to haunt Kim Phuc's life every day for the past 50 years, and she has become the little girl with napalm.
