THE BANG BANG CLUB (2010)

STEVEN SILVER

Plot

The Bang Bang Club was the name given to four young photographers; Greg Marinovich, Kevin Carter, Ken Oosterbroek and Joao Silva, whose photographs captured the final bloody days of white rule in South Africa. Two were awarded Pulitzer Prizes for their acclaimed work. The film tells the remarkable and sometimes harrowing story of these adrenalin junkies, and the extraordinary extremes they often went to. A powerful dramatisation based on Marinovich and Silva’s book.
