The Documentary

Available for over a year

Afghan journalist Najieh Ghulami returns to her country to discover the country's growing community of internet users. The internet was banned in the country under the Taliban, but in the six years since their overthrow, an online world has been putting down roots in the country's cybercafes and universities, allowing many Afghans the chance to build bridges with the wider world. These pioneers want to use the internet to describe a world beyond the headlines of war and poverty and use it to aid their country's development.
