The first full trailer for The Bang Bang Club has arrived. Based on a true story the film follows a group of combat photographers capturing the final days of apartheid in South Africa. Starring Ryan Phillippe, Taylor Kitsch, and Malin Ackerman The Bang Bang Club is slated to release on April 22nd.

The Bang Bang Club is the real life story of a group of four young combat photographers – Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek – bonded by friendship and their sense of purpose to tell the truth. 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.
