AFGHANISTAN UNVEILED

The Journey
preview
broadcast
 A woman filmmaker wearing a yellow and brown printed veil, looks through the lens of a camera facing a group of women and children standing and chatting in a circle, some wearing full-body burkhas and others dressed in headscarves.
When the first team of women video journalists to be trained in Afghanistan travel to rural regions of the country with cameras in hand, their journey is as much an emotional one as a geographical one. With access to stories never before seen on film, AFGHANISTAN UNVEILED reveals the effects of the Taliban’s repressive rule and the United States-sponsored bombing campaign on Afghan women.
