Since its inception, the photographic image has changed the way society views itself. That frozen moment in time, captured through a camera lens has led to radical shifts in societal attitudes and beliefs. One such moment captures an image of a group of children running down a road, soldiers in the background, at center frame a nine-year-old Vietnamese girl, naked, her mouth agape, screaming in agony as napalm eats down through her skin. The photo by AP photographer Nick Ut went on to win a Pulitzer Prize, and like much of the filmic work documenting the Vietnam War, contributed to a groundswell of US opposition to the conflict.
