MARCH 25 | 4PM | Television and the Afghan Culture Wars: Brought to You by Foreigners, Warlords, and Activists

During fieldwork across Afghanistan, Osman listened to the voices of Afghan media producers and people from all sectors of society. In this moving work, Afghans offer their own seldom-heard views on the country’s cultural progress and belief systems, their understandings of themselves,  the role of international interventions, women’s rights, democracy, modernity, and Islam as part of their nation building in the post-9/11 era, even as the larger forces of imperialism, warlordism, and war undermine the gains made.
