THE DEATH OF KEVIN CARTERAn Oscar nominated film with a South African connection is the short documentary "The Death of Kevin Carter", by Dan Krauss.
Carter was a member of the "Bang-Bang Club" of photojournalists who became (in?)famous in the early nineties for their work covering violence in the townships.
*In 1994 Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for this image of a starving child in the Sudan.
For a more complete description of Carter's dark but fascinating life visit this link, or buy the book "Bang-Bang Club" (highly recommended).

*I guarantee that you'll never forget that photograph.
