The Bang Bang Club tells the true story of four photographers who risked their lives amid gunfire - hence their name - to take iconic and shocking pictures during the last, violent days of South Africa's apartheid.
Their harrowing stories are captured in this thought-provoking film, which is released on DVD this week by Entertainment One.
Set in 1994, The Bang Bang Club is made up of four young South African men: Greg Marinovich (Ryan Phillippe - Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer), Kevin Carter (Taylor Kitsch - X Men Origins: Wolverine), Ken Oosterbroek (Frank Rautenbach) and João Silva (Neels Van Jaarsveld), as they set out to document some of the best, yet most horrific images of their lives - in some of the most hostile and turbulent places in the world.

Movie review of 'The Bang Bang Club' - Tense film features heroic Ryan Phillippe and suspenseful race politics and action. The recent deaths of photojournalists Tim Hetherington (who also co- directed the film Restrepo) and Chris Hondros in Libya serve as a powerful reminder of the risks photographers face in their line of work. The same is true for writer/director Steven Silver’s drama The Bang Bang Club, a new release from Tribeca Film, about the young photojournalists covering the fall of Apartheid and the widespread chaos led by supporters of President F.W. de Klerk in 1994 South Africa. Based on the 2001 book by Joao Silva and Greg Marinovich, Silver makes a solid dramatic feature debut after a career making documentary films. The gritty realism of the film’s suspenseful scenes, as the Bang Bang photographers dodge bullets in order to get their stories, reflects Silver’s experience in non-fiction storytelling.
