2015 Presentation: Afghanistan: Then and Now

Julien Bryan was a documentarian who traveled around the world filming people through much of the 20th century. He visited places that most Westerners did not, including Afghanistan, with a focus on telling basic stories of day-to-day life. His son, Samuel Bryan will talk about his intrepid father's life and work. He and Sarah Menzies — a modern-day documentary filmmaker working on Afghan Cycles, which follows a group of Afghan women who are challenging long-held gender barriers by riding bicycles — will offer a glimpse into chronicling the Afghanistan of yesteryear and the Afghanistan of tomorrow.
