- Watch your mouth, motherf***er.

- Think you can take me on?

I didn't tell you, but I got an offer

from AP a few days ago.

They want to send me to Afghanistan.

I'll be leaving next month.

It's what I've always wanted.

Viv?

Mm-hmm?

Will you marry me?

Yup.

Still non-stop jol, is it?

How you doing?

Better. Really better, yeah.

I've been thinking about us.

I think I lost the plot for a while.

I'm sorry.

I think it's an occupational hazard.

And minutes into

Wednesday April the 271994,

the flag of freedom and equality

for all races

flew over South Africa.

The enthusiasm for voting

among blacks of all ages and conditions

caught the mainly white organizers

unprepared.

Millions more ballot papers

had to be produced

and in six regions,

a fourth day allowed for voting.

Inkatha's late entry into the election

meant its candidates had to be added

to ballot papers.

Despite the problems,

the historic poll is expected

to be declared free and fair.

My name is Kevin Carter.

Without phone, money for rent,

Money for debts, money...

I'm haunted by the vivid memories

of killings and corpses

and anger and pain...

Of killer executioners...

Of trigger-happy madmen, often police.

I have gone to join Ken,

if I'm that lucky.

# Long have we awaited

# But many times have we seen

# In the eyes of the neighbours

# A feeling that leads

Not a guess

# Who's been doing what, who

and went for less

# And who's been left out there

with dust on his dead feet

# Shot down in the city

# Look right at the sunset

# Look left and pour the tea

# Look on in amazement

# Look fast and mass crazy here

# Nowhere else in the world can you see

# so many monsters creep out

so efficiently

# and leave you wondering what happened

to all the sacred things

# that got shot down in the city

# New money new money

# And old ways get away

# But here in my cradle

# I lie incapable

# I'm a white boy who looked at his life

gathered his hands

# and saw it was all due

to the sweat of some other man

# That one who got shot

down in the city

# Shot down

# One day we'll fight

# That misty mild day

# And we can live our lives

# In peace

# But don't forget

your brothers and your sisters

# Who got shot down in the street

# Shot down in the street

# Deep in the past

# We can trigger to the barrel blast

# On the avenue

# Where I would crash into you

# What's done is done and life is a gun

# Life is a gun on the run

# Oh my dear isn't life a gun

# A story shotgun that came undone

# It came undone

# The well worn path

# Was never something I would walk

# So lay it down

# Lay these guns in the ground

# What's done is done and life is a gun

# Life is a gun on the run

# Oh my dear isn't life a gun

# A story shotgun that came undone

# We came undone

Blu-ray subtitling: CNST, Montreal

# We came undone
