The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo
Episode 43
Wednesday, 10 December, 2025

The Netflix documentary film The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo follows war correspondent Gary Knight as he attempts to learn who actually captured the famous “Napalm Girl” picture. The hunt for the unidentified photographer will take him across the globe and put him at odds with a journalistic community deeply protective of Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Nick Út’s legacy. Knight enlists a visual forensics team to pinpoint which cameraman in Trảng Bàng was in position to snap the picture that altered the way many viewed the war in Vietnam. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Bao Nguyen. SPOILER ALERT!
