director: Louie Palu, Devin Gallagher
original title: Kandahar Journals
country: Canada
year: 2015
running time: 76 min.

synopsis

What Louie Palu experienced during the four years he spent covering the war in Afghanistan as an independent reporter exceeds the possibilities of photography. A montage of images, diary entries, commentaries, and authentic video footage creates a bleak document with an atmosphere as inhospitable as the Afghan landscape. This film may serve as a catharsis even for its makers.
