AFGHAN
STORIES: BEHIND THE HEADLINES
A Presentation by Photojournalist Paula Lerner
June 19, 2008 - 7:00 p.m.
Medford Public Library
111 High Street (Route 60)
Medford, Massachusetts 02155 USA
Plenty of news stories out of Afghanistan cover the ongoing insurgency
and hardships of war. But few tell of how people are rebuilding in
war's aftermath.
Since 2005 Boston-based photojournalist Paula Lerner has made multiple
trips to Afghanistan to document the lives of women in that country. At
this presentation she will show the multimedia feature "The Women of
Kabul," produced in collaboration with the washingtonpost.com, as well
as present "Hidden Lives," a multimedia piece on women in Kandahar.
Both of these features give women in different walks of life a chance
to tell their powerful stories, opening a window on a world that has
been largely unknown or closed to Western observers.
