Why do Afghan photographers have to learn to tell their own story?

Massoud Hossaini was born in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. After his family fled to Iran, he developed an interest in photography, a dangerous profession in a totalitarian state. In 2001, Hossaini returned to his homeland and 10 years later was covering a religious ceremony in Kabul when a suicide bomber attack killed 70 people. Hossaini’s resulting photo of a survivor, “The Girl in the Green Dress,” won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography. He is featured, along with his wife Farzana Wahidy, in Frame by Frame.
