Al J Venter

    25. November 1938

    Al J Venter ist ein Kriegsberichterstatter und Dokumentarfilmer, dessen umfangreiche Karriere ihn ins Zentrum zahlreicher globaler Konflikte geführt hat. Seine Berichterstattung über die grausamsten Kriege Afrikas und des Nahen Ostens, vom nigerianischen Bürgerkrieg bis zu den Unruhen im Libanon, zeugt von einer unerschütterlichen Entschlossenheit, die brutale Realität des Kampfes zu dokumentieren. Venters Werk zeichnet sich durch seinen rohen Realismus und einen scharfen Einblick in menschliche Widerstandsfähigkeit und Brutalität angesichts von Gewalt aus. Durch seine Bücher und Dokumentarfilme liefert er wesentliche Zeugnisse über entscheidende Momente der modernen Geschichte.

      An African War Correspondent's Story

      From a small town in Mpumalanga to dodging bullets in war-torn Al J. Venter, the oldest war correspondent still active, bore witness to some of humanity’s biggest atrocities – and has lived to tell the tale. In the 1960s, with little money, a sense of adventure and a healthy dollop of chutzpah, Venter set out overland from Cape Town to London. Since then, Venter has reported from 25 conflict zones. In his memoir, Venter masterfully recounts his experiences.
