The world of the compbat photographer is a strange one – supposedly passive witnesses to barbarism and misery, who hope that by getting images out to the wider world they can help, and make a living of course. That’s the subject of The Bang Bang Club, about four real-lide young combat photographers – Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek – bonded by friendship and their sense of purpose to tell the truth. 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. This intense political period brought out their best work (two won Pulitzers during the period) but cost them a heavy price. Click below for the trailer. No UK release date has been set.
