World Press Freedom1
A world that cannot see, cannot change

This what one of the world’s most famous ‘war images’ would have looked like, if censored.

It’s the picture of Vietnamese children running from a Napalm attack during the Vietnam war, but you can’t see the key figure in the photo which is a little girl running naked and bruised.

Here’s the original, which influenced public opinion worldwide and remains, to this day, a striking image of who suffers the most from wars; innocent children.

The ad is part of a campaign for World Press Freedom Day. The advertising agency is TBWA Hunt Lascaris, South Africa
