It describes how Carter, who won the Pulitzer Prize for a photograph of an emaciated African girl being stalked by a vulture, became depressed by the carnage he witnessed as a photographer in war-torn places. In addition, he was devastated by the death of Ken Oosterbroek, a close friend and colleague who was shot and killed while working in the township of Thokoza.

It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject.[2][3]


Reception


In 2006, Maureen Ryan called it "provocative", and noted that it was "surprising(ly) thorough" for a film only a half-hour long, with its short running time being its only weakness.[4]
