00:01Some photographs just transcend all others.

00:04It's difficult to explain it, but you kind of know it when you see it.

00:08A photograph of Kim Phuc is perhaps the most iconic photograph of a war ever made.

00:13It was such a shocking image.

00:15The photographer is almost as well known as the photo itself.

00:19I saw the bird running, and I took a picture of her.

00:22Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Ood.

00:24Nick Ood.

00:25When you're photographing with film, there's always some mystery.

00:29But what you do know is what you didn't take.

00:33There's a lot more to this story.

00:35Nick didn't really take that famous picture.

00:37It's time to clear my conscience.

00:43We had our staff photographers, and then this army of stringers, or freelancers.

00:48The front picture was from a stringer. I checked his name.

00:54Can we review what Nick's narrative is?

00:57That's Nick Ood.

00:59He's too far back.

01:00You can't get the picture if you're not there.

01:03But what about this guy here?

01:07It matters who press the shutter.

01:09A lot of people are going to get spattered by this.

01:11He is the second journalist to the greet to an interview, and has then backed out.

01:15Not just for one man's legacy.

01:16We shoved it under the carpet. We never talked about it.

01:19Why?

01:20But for what it says about who gets remembered.

01:22I don't have any evidence. I'm zero.

01:25And who gets erased.

01:26The truth is that society is very dangerous.

01:33He took the picture.

01:36He was excluded from reality.

01:38This is the time I'm gonna tell the truth for you.

01:42The story of my dad.

01:44I've been able to accept this.

01:45I've seen the truth for many people.

01:46I've been looking for him for now.

01:50I've been filming my show.

01:51I've been filming my show.

01:52I've seen him for years.

01:53This is why my dad.

01:54Now I have only heard the voice.

01:58The voice.

01:59The voice?

02:04How I am?
