Unlike other photographers, members of the ‘Bang Bang Club’ ventured into black townships to witness scenes of bloody battles. Spurred on by adrenaline, they placed their lives in danger to capture the events that most whites were unaware of. As street fighting ensued the murder of Ken Oosterbroek is caught on camera.
