Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesKevin Carter's daughter Megan Carter is featured in the bar scene where she turns around and says 'You must be Ken Oosterbroek.' Standing next to her is Kevin Carter's stepdaughter Sian Lloyd.
- PatzerWhen Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva are reviewing Kevin Carter's film of the vulture and child, the negatives they view through the magnifier are actually halftone images, not normal negatives that one would be examining before publication. (Halftones are the "dotted" images used to print photographs in newspapers and magazines, etc.)
- Zitate
Kevin Carter: They're right. All those people who say it's our job to just sit and watch people die. They're right.
- Crazy CreditsPhotos taken by the real photographers, including portraits of one another, are used as a backdrop during the first section of the credits. The taking of some of these photographs is portrayed in the film itself.

Ausgewählte Rezension
I avoided this film for a long time because it was set in South Africa and I thought it was going to be political. Instead it is more about the combat photographers that live and work in these zones, witnesses to all kinds of nasty things, but tasked with observing and taking pictures only.
The film has a good cast, but considering it is based on a book written by two of the photographers - one played by Ryan Phillippe, it is strange that the most visible character is Taylor Kitsch's, who steals the show with his acting.
The direction and writing of the film were a little bland, though, less ambitious than the subject of the movie. I wonder if it was intentional, as to show more of the perspective of the original book. Even so, we start with these musketeers of the camera, but we never understand why they got to doing what they're doing and so most of the time we couldn't care less what happens to them.
The change comes at the end, when two of the group die and we are faced with the pain of their friends and loved ones, but it comes too late and on the background of Black people finding their children murdered and having to let photographers in to take account. It felt artificial and condescending, so that is why I rated this film merely average. Otherwise, an interesting story and word watching.
One thing intrigued me: from the few IMDb comments for this film, there is none from South Africa, so they must have done something wrong with the movie.
