Screening of documentary about Afghanistan journalists, 6:30 pm Oct. 20

An exclusive preview screening of “Frame by Frame,” a documentary about Afghanistan journalists presented by the Washington West Film Festival, will be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 20 in the National Press Club Zenger Room.

The event is open to the publicm and registration is required. Tickets cost $5 for Club members and $10 for non-members.

In the aftermath of decades of war and Taliban rule, this award-winning documentary follows the lives of four Afghan photojournalists as they struggle to re-frame Afghanistan through an emerging free press.

As foreign troops and media withdraw, Afghanistan is left to stand on its own, and so are its journalists. In a world where even taking a photo was a crime, a photography revolution has now been born.

Following the screening, the filmmakers will address the Club audience via Skype. Then Club President John Hughes will moderate a panel discussion of media experts.
