Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKevin Carter's daughter Megan Carter is featured in the bar scene where she turns around and says 'You must be Ken Oosterbroek.' Standing next to her is Kevin Carter's stepdaughter Sian Lloyd.
- GoofsWhen Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva are reviewing Kevin Carter's film of the vulture and child, the negatives they view through the magnifier are actually halftone images, not normal negatives that one would be examining before publication. (Halftones are the "dotted" images used to print photographs in newspapers and magazines, etc.)
- Quotes
Kevin Carter: They're right. All those people who say it's our job to just sit and watch people die. They're right.
- Crazy creditsPhotos taken by the real photographers, including portraits of one another, are used as a backdrop during the first section of the credits. The taking of some of these photographs is portrayed in the film itself.

Featured review
I am many things; a critic is not one of them. Nevertheless, I just wanted to say how moved I was by this story. I had seen all the pictures through the 1980's and early 1990's, but knowing the hell these photographers went through for a photo, was tremendously emotional. Taylor Kitsch as Kevin Carter was the heart of this movie. I was not sure how "Tim Riggins" would pull this off, but he did it beautifully. If you are looking for an emotional movie that shows what war, friendships, and the sacrifice of loss can change the world, then I believe this is the movie. I would definitely recommend it, but watch it with an open heart.
