This is so wild... like I was thinking about that napalm girl pic all day and I had no idea it might not even be by the guy everyone thought it was . The more I think about it, the more I'm curious about Nghệ's story - what happened to him after he sold his pics? Did he ever get any recognition for his work? It's crazy how we can just assume certain things are true without questioning them
I'm totally obsessed with this new documentary on Netflix! I mean, who knew there was a whole other story behind one of the most iconic pics of all time? It's crazy how much was hidden and manipulated back then, especially by someone like Horst Faas. It's not just about who took the pic, but also why it matters that Nguyễn Thành Nghệ is getting some recognition for his work as a freelancer. I feel so bad for him being erased from history. And can you believe how many layers there are in this story? The more I think about it, the more I'm hooked!
