Zohra Zahir (co-host of Navaye Ashena) will be in discussion with filmmaker Aisha Jamal, about her recent film, A Kandahar Away, as well as the film Breadwinner. As Zohra notes, Afghanistan is the land of stories and storytellers, and the discussion will explore the role of storytelling in both films, and on the perspective of the immigrant experience.
Films can be viewed here:
Aisha Jamal is a filmmaker, programmer and college professor. Her feature documentary "A Kandahar Away" is now screening on CBC Gem and she is currently working on a documentary web series with Telus.
