A new documentary questions who took the photo of a young girl running naked down a street after being caught in a napalm attack during the Vietnam War .

Photographer Nick Ut and his longtime employer are contesting it vigorously, and Ut 's lawyer is seeking to block the premiere, threatening a defamation lawsuit.

The photo of Kim Phuc running down a road in the village of Trang Bang , crying and naked because she had taken off clothes burning from napalm, instantly became symbolic of the horrors of the war.

The AP says it spoke to seven surviving people who were in Trang Bang or AP 's Saigon bureau that day .

They maintain they have no reason to doubt their own conclusions that Ut had taken the photo.

AP questioned Robinson 's long silence in contradicting Ut 's photo credit.
