}}The Death of Kevin Carter: Casualty of the Bang Bang Club, also known as The Life of Kevin Carter, is a 2004 American documentary short film about the suicide of South African photojournalist Kevin Carter. The film is produced and directed by Dan Krauss as a master's project at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.[1]

It describes how Carter, who won the Pulitzer Prize for a photograph of an emaciated African girl being stalked by a vulture, became depressed by the carnage he witnessed as a photographer in war-torn places. In addition, he was devastated by the death of Ken Oosterbroek, a close friend and colleague who was shot and killed while working in the township of Thokoza.

It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject.[2]

Reception

Maureen Ryan, the TV reviewer at the Chicago Tribune, wrote in 2006:

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.[3]

She wrote also: Almost in passing, we learn that Carter was accompanied by an armed contingent of soldiers while on that photo assignment in Sudan. This lead her to the Question: What if helping the child had put him at risk, and he hadn’t been able to file that haunting picture to his editors?[4]
