Napalm Girl documentary arrives on Netflix this week, triggered by 52-year-old secret that plagued photo editor – and I can't wait to watch it!

A collage featuring a road, an elderly man, and scenes of photographers discussing images, highlighting themes of photojournalism.

Few photographs have shaped public consciousness quite like The Terror of War – better known globally as Napalm Girl. It is an image that has transcended journalism, becoming a visual shorthand for the human cost of conflict.

And on November 28, Netflix releases "The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo", directed by Bao Nguyen, and produced by Fiona Turner. This is the same documentary that first screened at Sundance in January 2025, with additional edits to reflect the response to the revelation about the photograph's authorship.
