The Girl Behind the Photo: Kim Phuc's Story

Overcoming Adversity with Inner Strength

Summary Profile

Overcoming adversity is a story that Kim Phuc tells like no other. Early in her life, she was caught in the horrors of the Vietnam War, running naked up a road with her skin on fire and screaming in agony.

Her story is not an easy one, but there is a happy and inspirational ending. Kim paints an unforgettable image of her struggle to survive pain, fear and death. Having lived through such trauma, her audiences are mesmerized by her strength, compassion and forgiveness.

Now she is an advocate for peace, and she recounts her story to those around the world. Ultimately, it was the click of a camera that saved her life, and the 1972 Pulitzer prize winning photo will be forever etched in the minds of those fighting for peace.

Client Testimonials:

"I was amazed at Kim's attitude. I'm sure that I have never met anyone who has gone through such trauma, at such an early age, and come out so totally positive and forgiving. Her presentation reassured me about the strength that we all possess. When we mix this element with the power of love and forgiveness, miracles can happen."
