Death to the Camera
20 minutes | Afghanistan | (Subtitled) Farsi-Dari | Canadian Premiere | Rating: PG
A camera moves among women working on a job site. As they joke and fight with each other, the mood repeatedly shifts between belly laughs and rage. While they wait for their pay, they consider how to cover their basic expenses, what happens to international aid and whether Karzai is a crook or a servant of the people. Is the camera revealing anything truthful, or simply inciting these women to present what they think ‘the other’ wants to hear?
