The documentary The Stringer (2025) raises new questions about the authorship of the world-famous photo The Terror of War, which has been a symbol of the Vietnam War since 1972. While the image was previously attributed to AP photographer Nick Út, recent research points to a more complex origin story.
Photo historian Michael Ebert, who has been researching this photo for years and was also involved in the investigations by the AP news agency, will present the latest findings in his lecture and shed light on the background to one of the most influential images of the 20th century.
