Kim Phuc, twenty-three years on. When she was nine, Kim Phuc's village in Vietnam was hit by US napalm. The photograph Nick Ut took of her as she ran down the road - the 1972 World Press Photo of the Year - is widely believed to have hastened the end of the war. Kim Phuc, who now lives in Toronto, is pictured here with her baby son.
