You might have thought you knew who took

You might have thought you knew who took one of the most famous photos of all time, the 1972 photo of a young girl running away from a napalm bombing in Vietnam, but you’d be wrong, at least according to this documentary that investigates the origins of the photo with a truly fascinating and detailed investigation into the events of that long ago day. There is so much of interest in this movie about journalism, the war in Vietnam, the fog of war, photography, and iconography. This film uncovers a 50 year old story that simply needed to come out, and it needed to come out just as it does in this film, in a measured, carefully reported way.
