Shooting the Darkness
2019, English. Directed by Tom Burke.
A great photograph transforms the event. It's not just a record of it. It's something else
The testimony of the men who unwittingly became war photographers on the streets of their own towns in Northern Ireland, when violence erupted around them. Instead of photographing weddings and celebrities, as they expected, they produced the images that crudely show the suffering of ordinary people between 1968 and 1998, the worst years of the conflict.
