Netflix’s The Stringer documentary challenges history of famous ‘Napalm Girl’ photograph
November 28, 2025
It may be the most famous photograph ever taken.
On June 8, 1972, in a small village in southeastern Vietnam, a nine-year-old girl named Phan Thi Kim Phuc was running along the road, screaming and naked, having torn off her burning clothes after a napalm strike by South Vietnamese forces. With one click of a camera, the image, officially called The Terror of War but more widely known as “Napalm Girl,” travelled around the globe via the Associated Press with stunning speed and impact, altering the world’s perspective on the Vietnam War almost overnight.
