The Bang Bang Club

Description

The Bang Bang Club is the real life story of a group of four fearless young combat photographers - Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek. Bonded by their sense of purpose to tell the truth no matter what, they risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. Their drive to live and work hard during this period brought out their best work (at least two won Pulitzers during the period) but cost them a heavy price.

Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth.
