Anna Badkhen Interviewed on Afghanistan by WSIU Public Broadcasting
Country:
Despite all the tragedies she has seen in Afghanistan, journalist Anna Badkhen <a href="https://www3.wsiu.org/radio/podcast/player.php?podid=990008&title=Morning+Conversation+%2810/14/2011%29:+Anna+Badhken">said in an interview with WSIU</a> Public Broadcasting that she still had hope in humanity. <br>
Badkhen spent the past year and a half traveling in northern Afghanistan for her latest project <a href="/projects/northern-afghanistan-taliban-insurgency-nato">"Afghanistan by Donkey."</a> This immersion gave her a rare glimpse into the lives and struggles of ordinary Afghans. Her project paints a vivid picture of Afghan culture while providing a first-hand account of the Taliban rule that has gradually returned to the country.<br>
