Greg Marinovich is co-author of The Bang Bang Club, a nonfiction book on South Africa’s transition to democracy that has been translated into six languages. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and filmmaker.
He spent 25 years covering conflict around the globe, with his writing and photographs appearing in magazines and newspapers worldwide. Specifically conflict zones within Apartheid South Africa, which we center our discussion around.
His 2012 award-winning investigations into the Marikana massacre of miners by police was called the most important South African journalism post-Apartheid, the book will be published early in 2016.
Perhaps one slight health warning to you, listener, is that we do discuss in detail very violent events that occurred within apartheid South Africa. So I will let your listener decide if this one is for you and now I give you Greg Marinovich.
