The Bang Bang Club is the real-life story of a group of four 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 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) but cost them a heavy price.

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

Steven Silver’s impressive film manages to balance politics, visceral activities, photography, boozy antics, and moral dilemmas.

Captures this brutal time - which led to the country's first free, multiracial elections in 1994 and the end of apartheid - in vivid, often bold, but never overpowering strokes.
