| An interview with Kim Phuc |
It was single, horrific photograph taken in the midst of the Vietnam War that brought Kim Phuc to international attention. On June 8, l972, Associated Press Photographer Nick Ut photographed nine-year-old Kim running naked down a road near her village of Trang Bang, following a South Vietnamese napalm attack. It would become the poster picture of a terrible, tragic war.
Kim’s story of pain, survival, forgiveness, healing and new beginnings is also a story of God’s work to bring redemption, restoration and clear purpose. We are pleased to feature Kim Phuc—an ambassador of world peace and healing—as one of Canada’s Amazing Women. |

Karen credits those artistic years in her twenties with teaching her, first, that she had something to say; and, second, with showing her how to communicate her message. It wasn’t until her early thirties that she first voiced a desire to pursue a career in film. |
