Synopsis:
Inside Afghanistan, young photographers are emerging to tell their own stories about life in a war-torn country. Photojournalists from around the world have been sent to Afghanistan to capture the human toll of the war. However, we rarely see the work of Afghan photographers who can bring a local perspective to what is happening in their country. That is why the 3rd Eye Photojournalism Center trains young Afghans to work with cameras, set up websites, and critically evaluate media depictions of their communities. As program graduate Zekria Gulistani says, “most of the photographers who come to Afghanistan are only coming to go to provinces where there is always fighting.” This short film takes a look at those rarely seen pictures, and it profiles the young people who will shape the future of photojournalism in Afghanistan.
