They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work – two won Pulitzers during the period – but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth. 2 ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Written and directed by Steven Silver, The Bang Bang Club is a Canada/South Africa co-production from producer Daniel Iron of Foundry Films Inc.
