Movies & Science: Frame by Frame

Movies & Science
When the Taliban rule came to an end, Afghan citizens gained the right to take pictures. Dr. Domitilla Olivieri on the role of visual media in nation-building.

When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, taking pictures was forbidden. After the regime fell from power in 2001, the ban was lifted, and a photography revolution was born. Frame by Frame follows four Afghan photojournalists as they navigate an emerging and dangerous media landscape, reframing Afghanistan for the world, and for themselves. What is the role of images in times of war and peace? Disccusion and Q&A with dr. Domitilla Olivieri (Media and Culture Studies, UU).
