What evidence supports and challenges the claims made in "The Stringer" regarding the photograph's attribution, and how reliable are the various sources presented?

The controversy stems from the documentary "The Stringer," which claims a freelance photographer, Nguyen Thanh Nghe, took the picture and that the AP misattributed it to Ut. This challenges the long-held belief and raises questions about photojournalism ethics and verification processes. The dispute highlights difficulties in definitively proving authorship of a historical photograph after decades.
