In 1972 a photograph flashed around the world: it showed nine-year old Vietnamese girl, Kim Phuc, running for her life, her face contorted in pain. In her attempt to escape a napalm bomb attack which destroyed her entire village she suffered terrible burns. Photographer Nick Ut won the Pulitzer Prize for his shot – and the click of his shutter saved Kim Phuc’s life. He brought her to the nearest hospital and she was taken into a special clinic in Saigon. Initially the trophy victim for the Western media, Kim Phuc and her photo were gratefully adopted by the Communist propaganda machine after North Vietnam won the war. She now lives with her husband and family in Canada. "You may find this hard to believe but sometimes I like to think about the small girl who ran screaming down the street. She is not just a symbol of the war, she is a symbol of a cry for freedom!" says Kim Phuc today.
