The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War
Greg Marinovich and João Silva • 2000
Devastation Rating
Our Take
Four photographers documented the township violence in South Africa's transition years; two died. Marinovich and Silva's account of that work — the cost of bearing witness, the Pulitzers, the colleagues lost — is also an account of what photography does to those who take the photographs. The picture that wins the prize versus the picture that haunts you. These are not always the same.
