2) The book

 

The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War is an autobiographical book about the Bang-Bang Club. It was written by Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, two of the four members of the club. The group's two surviving members recount their political, emotional, and personal journeys through these violent years as South Africa moved toward democracy. The book was published in English on 20 September 2000.

 

 3) The documentary

"The short but provocative documentary “The Death of Kevin Carter: Casualty of the Bang Bang Club,” which Cinemax airs at 6 p.m. Thursday, attempts to explain why Carter committed suicide months after winning the ultimate journalistic accolade and shortly after the death of his best friend.

Given that it’s only a half-hour long, it’s surprising how thorough this Academy Award-nominated documentary is regarding Carter’s life and times. The only criticism one can make is to wish the film were longer, given that Carter’s colleagues and friends clearly have many stories to tell, not only about the gifted photojournalist but also about the birth of post-apartheid South Africa.

Viewers learn about Carter’s membership in South African journalism’s “Bang Bang Club,” a band of elite photographers who documented the tumultuous final days of the apartheid regime, often at great personal risk. Carter and his colleagues were witnesses to some of South Africa’s most horrific and frightening violence, and the photos they took while pursuing that dangerous story garnered them notice all over the world. But acting as witnesses in that place, in that era, took its toll."
