Dan Eldon was a British-American photojournalist and artist who was killed by a mob in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 at age 22, and whose journals — published posthumously — became iconic documents of young artistic adventurism.
Eldon organized the African relief journey that Nolan filmed — an early example of Nolan working as a documentary cameraman in conditions of genuine danger — and his short life and death represent the reckless vitality that Nolan's more controlled artistry channels.
