Frame by Frame is a beautifully shot, thought-provoking film set in a post-Taliban, modern Afghanistan bursting with color and character. It challenges everything we as American audiences think we know about Afghanistan by following four Afghan photojournalists navigating a dangerous and fledgling media landscape. The documentary, premiering at SXSW, uses cinema vérité, powerful photojournalism, and never-before-seen footage shot in secret during the Taliban regime to connect audiences to its four remarkable characters who use their cameras in pursuit of truth--whether that is revealing the human stories in their neighborhoods or exposing the sociopolitical intricacies that Afghanistan grapples with today.
