Through the Lens

Director: Aria Raofi

Once photography was a crime and punishable by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Now photography is restoring hopes and dreams of internally displaced girls, living in severe poverty inside a refugee camp. Due to the ongoing war between the Taliban and the Afghan forces, they left their home province, and taken refuge in the outskirts of Kabul. The girls are neglected and voiceless inside this camp. But, the filmmaker teaches children basic photography, so they can document their own lives, revealing their dreams and hidden talents.
