And I think we can all think of photos in the past that have s- that have, have raised a lot of discussion, you know.

And that is the, the guy standing in front of the tank, Tiananmen Square, the Napalm Girl.

I think Ian will remember that photo vividly.

And there's, there's a bunch of them out there that if you have a photo and you show it, just let the photo do its talking.

The Stringer on Netflix, which is a deep, journalistic, and compelling documentary about one of the most famous photos in the history of all time.

The photo is called The Terror of War, but you may know it more commonly by Napalm Girl.

It depicts a naked nine-year-old Vietnamese girl running away from a napalm attack during the Vietnamese War in Vietnam.

And this doc is about figuring out – is it an investigation into who took the photo? Because the person who's credited with taking the photo is not necessarily the person who took the photo.

And then suddenly the stringer, again, drops like a Beyonce album, as far as I could tell, which is this incredible, hardcore, journalistic expose about the most famous photo out of the Vietnam War.

What's the name of the photo?

Well, the technical name is Terror of War, but most people know it as a napalm girl photograph.

One of the famous photos in history, but certainly the most famous photo from the Vietnam War.

And the thing that's very striking to me about the actual image, we'll come on to the twist in a minute, but the actual image, it's remarkably similar.

in composition, and I'd never thought of this until I was reading a little bit about it, to the other very famous picture, Pulitzer Prize winning picture of the Napalm Girl.

And they are, do you not think they're remarkably similar, Marcus, in one way? And one's pure hell and the other one's pure joy.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

And he was very much a photographer that was about just shooting on instinct, not being, you know, keeping his eyes peeled.

That's what his sort of raison d'etre was to get capture of that moment.

I wonder if in his deep in his consciousness when he saw this, he was aware of the other picture because he would have seen Napalm Girl by this point.

Yeah.
