Trang Bang, South Vietnam, 8 June 1972. The air force mistakenly drops bombs on a temple that houses civilians. Among the group of journalists witnessing the drama, the young photographer Nick Ut realizes, on that day, the photo of his life. In her goal, a naked little girl who tries to escape the flames that devour her. This photo that embodies the hell of Vietnam has gone around the world; it continues every day, for 50 years, to haunt the life of Kim Phuc, now "the little girl in the napalm".
