The Bang Bang Club asks important questions about photojournalism: Should a photographer try to stop something horrible from happening or just get that great shot? What are the implications of white shooters making hay from black struggles? And what emotional price do photographers in war zones pay? Silver’s hyperkinetic, tension-filled film about the titular group of journalists capturing the hostilities in 1994 South Africa for Johannesburg’s The Star is extremely vivid. It has a great cast – Ryan Phillippe keeps doing great work and check out the breakout performance by riveting Taylor Kitsch. Be sure you stay for the Club’s archival photos that run alongside the closing credits.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
