Afghanistan: Winning the War, Losing the Peace
Produced by Olga Shalygin and Cliff Orloff
Cliff Orloff returned to Afghanistan in June 2002, more than 30 years after his first visit in 1971. His wife, Olga Shalygin, a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist, joined him. In one of the largest and fastest voluntary migrations in history, they document the difficulties facing refugees and displaced persons in post-war Afghanistan. Orloff and Shalygin bring attention to an under-reported story. The videography by Shalygin is hauntingly beautiful, but reflects a situation that is dire and disturbing.
