“Napalm Girl” Kim Phuc, from iconic Vietnam photo, on pain and forgiveness | Brief But Spectacular
“Forgiveness set my heart free.” — Phan Thị Kim Phúc’s life changed forever on June 8, 1972 at the age of nine. Known as “the napalm girl,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken of her at Trảng Bàng exposed the world to the savagery of the Vietnam War. Nearly 50 years later, Kim Phúc offers her Brief But Spectacular take on her relationship with forgiveness and that girl in the picture.

About Brief But Spectacular:
Brief But Spectacular is an unconventional and revealing short-form interview series that presents an in-depth look at a variety of compelling guests and ideas. These powerful narratives put a personal face on complex issues, providing a window into the human condition. The intention of the series is to invite viewers to walk in someone else’s shoes.
For the past five years, Brief But Spectacular has been broadcast nationally across the U.S. as part of the PBS NewsHour. The series was created in 2015 by Steve Goldbloom and is produced by his production company Second Peninsula, which operates in the U.S. and Canada.
The series has produced more than 200 interviews to date and earned more than 300 million views. In 2019, Brief But Spectacular was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Feature Story.
While Brief But Spectacular has profiled well-known figures like Gloria Steinem, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Terry Gross, Carl Reiner, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, the show has earned a broad and loyal audience through its lesser-known guests, such as Mahogany Browne, Clint Smith, and the incomparable Flossie Lewis, whose take on growing old and living well earned more than 7 million views in two weeks.
Series Creator Steve Goldbloom was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and raised in Toronto. He created Brief But Spectacular (named after his Grandfather) in 2015 and has been producing the show out of Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife and daughter. With the help of the Bell Fund and distribution partner CBC, Brief But Spectacular has arrived in Canada.
