The Bang Bang Club

The Bang Bang Club At the end of apartheid in South Africa, four photographers, The Bang Bang Club, captured some of the most compelling pictures of the transition to democracy.
Unlike other photographers, members of the ‘Bang Bang Club’ ventured into black townships to witness scenes of bloody battles. Spurred on by adrenaline, they placed their lives in danger to capture the events that most whites were unaware of. As street fighting ensued the murder of Ken Oosterbroek is caught on camera. The photographers earned the respect and admiration of leading figures like Bill Clinton but faced bitterness from less courageous peers. The emotional and psychological impacts of conflict journalism led Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Carter to commit suicide and left the others with severe post-traumatic stress. Contains key archive of the period.
