Pulitzer photography

At that time, Kevin was under great pressure from public opinion because of this photo, and blamed himself for the death of his friend, and finally chose to commit suicide. Kevin won the Pulitzer Prize for his photo "Hungry Sudan" and instantly became an internationally renowned celebrity. However, Kevin was pressured and condemned by public opinion because of this photo.

Some people think that Kevin took this photo just to win the prize and didn't help the children in the photo drive away the vultures. At that time, some people were devastated by the war, and others thought that Kevin was cold-blooded and cruel. He won the Pulitzer Prize by stepping on the child's body.

A reporter from Florida, USA, wrote an article directly attacking Kevin's cruelty and blindness. Even Kevin's friends think he is cruel. Kevin should save the child first, not take this photo.

Faced with the incomprehension of friends and the scolding and abuse from outside, Kevin finally chose to commit suicide in the car. The truth of taking pictures is that Kevin waited for 20 minutes while taking pictures, and then helped the children drive away the vultures. The child wanted to go to the rescue center, but he was too hungry to stand up halfway, so he crawled on the ground. Kevin's purpose in taking this photo is to show people all over the world how hard people's lives are under the devastation of war, and hope that people will resist the war. However, Kevin's death is also related to the death of his friend. At that time, Kevin and his friends were taking pictures in other places, but because of the strong sunshine, Kevin left first.

Kevin's friend Ken was shot in that place. Kevin thought the murderer wanted to commit suicide, but he took a bullet for him. In the end, Kevin died because of his inner remorse and the pressure of public opinion. However, when judging this photo, all the judges believed that Kevin would help the child if he needed help.
