Not too long ago I’ve been traveling to the Hofer Filmtage with my previous film South Of Pico. There I did watch a film which made me look at a warzone in a very different way. The film is called NOMAD’S LAND by Gael Metroz.

This documentary tells the tales of traveling through Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan down to India and Sri Lanka. I was especially taken by the director’s glance at the tribal area in bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan – a terrorism hothouse as it is depicted in main stream media. Nomad’s Land doesn’t hide the area’s “lawlessness”  but also presents great imagery and insights on an area and people we really don’t know much about to begin with.

Check out a glance here on this link.

But the harshness of war also needs to be addressed. Over and over again. And it’s children who suffer the most. Watch this report here about an UN inspection of an Afghan refugee camp.
