In 2010, Community Supported Film conducted an
intensive 5-week training in documentary production for 10 Afghan women
and men. The recipients of that training produced The Fruit of Our
Labor, a collection of ten remarkable short films. Going beyond
battlefront war reporting, these films take on pressing contemporary
issues not covered by western media, such as the effects of heroine
addiction on Afghan families, the flash floods and dangerous droughts
that threaten most Afghans more than insurgent attacks, and the choices
women make negotiating healthcare and birth control without functioning
maternity clinics.<br>
<br>
Join us for a screening and discussion with Community
Supported Film founder and director Michael Sheridan, who argues that
stories told by Afghans themselves can augment our understanding of
Afghanistan and positively influence our decision-making abilities.<br>
