The famous photo of the little girl running screaming toward photographer Nick Ut is impossible to erase from our memory. The little girl was Kim Phùc, nine years old, and her village in Vietnam had been bombed with napalm. Nick captured the terrifying image of the burned girl running crying toward him. That encounter changed their lives.
The photographer saved the little girl's life, assisted her, and rushed her to a hospital. His shot made him famous and had the honor of showing everyone the horrors of the Vietnam War.
Decades later, the same little girl, now an adult, was immortalized by photographer Joe McNally.
Kim's back is marred by scars, but she holds a new life in her arms, a symbol of her victory over death.
Thanks to Nick's timely intervention, Kim is living a happy life, far from the horrors of her childhood, despite her scars.
