In the year of 1,972, during the war in Vietnam, a photo went around the world to show us the horror of war. A girl about 9 years running naked down the road from the village of Trang Bang. U.S. aircraft dropped four napalm bombs and incendiary wave one has reached the little Kim Phuc, that's the reason why running naked down the road, the fire has consumed his clothes and burned your skin.
The photo had a great impact on American society, to the point that as graphic evidence that the photographer did with the Vietnamese NICK UT picture today is not so easy. UT himself notes that the Vietnam War no one checked their photos. Could move from one front to another without being disturbed. Today, said UT, in the war in Iraq, not just look at your work, but you report that it is forbidden to take pictures of remains of soldiers .
No doubt that the mute witness of a camera lens plays a decisive role on the dormant power of the public or civil society, as it tends to be called today. Today more than ever, has immeasurable value to the famous saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." Or as I said at the time one of the most notorious of the current government spokespeople, in one of those usual "solutions" that ultimately revert to finish as a simple betrayal of the subconscious: video kills everything.
In the next picture you can see the body of Kim Phuc (and adults) and after having been hospitalized for 14 months and have undergone 17 operations for skin grafting.
