Most of us would have a hard enough time forgiving someone who cut us off on the highway -- let alone this.
Imagine forgiving the man who ordered a napalm attack that killed 2 of your cousins and left you in hospital with severe burns for 14 months!
That's Vietnam war survivor Kim Phuc's story.
She's known as 'the girl in the picture' -- in the Pulitzer prize-winning photo taken 40 years ago of a 9 year old girl running down a road naked -- on fire from a bombing on her village near Saigon.
Years later, she forgave the veteran who coordinated the attack.
Phuc will tell the 'long version' of her story Saturday night at the Redeemer University College auditorium.
Admission is free.
