Death of Kevin Carter, The: Casualty of the Bang Bang Club

This gut-wrenching, Oscar-nominated short documentary intersperses unforgettable war photographs, including a memorable and controversial 1993 photograph in which a vulture stalks a starving Sudanese girl, with insightful interviews with family, friends, and colleagues to reflect on the brilliant career of Pulitzer-Prize-winning photojournalist Kevin Carter in Johannesburg, who became increasingly haunted and depressed by the killing and the corpses while covering the horrific violence in the townships of South Africa and the suffering of its emaciated children, which eventually lead him to commit suicide in 1994.
