A video by David Edwards, Maliha Zulfacar, and Gregory Whitmore

Returning to Afghanistan after the war, anthropologist David Edwards (Heroes of the Age, 1996; Before the Taliban, 2002), with the help of his cameraman and co-filmmaker Maliha Zulfacar, created a rare glimpse of what he found in a ravaged city and the complex ways in which Afghans are trying to survive. Finalist in a number of international documentary film festivals and recently shown at the Walter Reed Theatre in New York, Kabul Transit is one of the most important films on the Middle East in recent years.

Screening followed by a discussion by Steven Caton and Lucien Taylor with directors David Edwards and Greg Whitmore.
