Kim Phuc is the main focus of one of the most famous--or infamous--photographs ever taken.

Kim Phuc was nine years old on June 8, 1972, when her village, Trang Bang, in South Vietnam was bombed. Burned by napalm, she ran down the road screaming in fear and pain. Associated Press photographer Nick Ut captured her terror - and with it the horror of an entire conflict - and as his picture was published around the world, it probably did more than any other image to contribute to the ending of the Vietnam War.

Showing remarkable fortitude and character, Phuc is determined to turn her horrific experience into something good. Check out the interview with her--she could teach us all an awful lot.
