Event info:

Monday, Feb. 4, 7 PM
Frontline Club

More information on the Frontline Club’s Web site.

The documentary was originally broadcast in the US as an episode of the American television program Frontline, under the title “Al Qaeda in Yemen,” last summer. You can read more about the program and Ghaith’s journey here.

In the new documentary, “Numbered,” Getty photographer Uriel Sinai, together with Dana Doron, explores a subtle legacy of Auschwitz: the tattooed serial numbers borne on the arms and chests of its survivors. The movie will have its New York premiere on January 20th as part of the New York Jewish Film Festival at Lincoln Center. You can watch a trailer for the movie here: http://vimeo.com/57316737

Previously, Uriel had photographed dozens of Auschwitz survivors and their tattoos for a portrait series of the same name. An estimated 400,000 numbers were tattooed in Auschwitz and its sub-camps, including Leo Luster, above, whom Uriel photographed in 2009.

Learn more about the documentary and its screening dates on the film’s Facebook page.

Kabul - A City of Hope and Fear

Photographer and Filmmaker John D McHugh has been documenting life in Afghanistan’s capital city, its slow rise out of conflict, and the hints of impending disaster that many feel is just around the corner.  


‘As the city holds it breath, waiting for the next assault, one man refuses to give up on Kabul.  It is the city’s mayor Muhammad Yunus Nawandish, who is dedicated to putting the capital back on its feet after so many years of destruction and decay. 

He spends hours every day on the road, inspecting infrastructure construction projects, badgering suppliers and contractors, keeping the pressure up on his officials.  He is renowned for his hands on approach, fond of turning up unannounced at building sites and catching municipal staff unawares.

He is also dedicated to fighting corruption, particularly tackling what he calls “the land mafia,” which makes getting anything done in Kabul so difficult.  With warlords illegally grabbing land for development, often for putting up their own absurdly extravagant houses, the mayor’s determination is admirable, but very dangerous. “Because the fight against corruption and the land mafia is not so easy, I purchased a piece of land for my grave,” he says, without a trace of fear.’
