A South African drama about photographers portraying the intense last days of the apartheid regime. Every year several reporters lose their lives while they are on a mission. The Bang Bang Club shows us the story behind the dramatic pictures. The film is based on the autobiography of Greg Marinovich and João Silva, two of the photographers in the so-called Bang Bang Club. They were four fearless photographers who documented the bloody battle for power in South Africa before ANC and Nelson Mandela won the election in 1994. Their pictures showed the world the horrible events that took place. But life in the trenches has its costs, and the film raises important questions of the photographer’s roles and responsibilities in conflict zones. akek
