"Raskols" by Stephen Dupont features stark black-and-white portraits of the Kips Kaboni, Papua New Guinea's notorious criminal gang, captured in 2004 in Port Moresby. The book delves into the harsh realities of gang life in this crime-ridden city, often considered one of the world's worst places to live. Dupont infiltrated the gang, documenting its members, primarily young and unemployed, alongside their handmade firearms. These raskols, seen by some as modern-day Robin Hoods, navigate a landscape of violence and poverty in a city beset by intertribal warfare, high crime rates, and systemic governmental corruption.
