View From a Grain of Sand on PBS

“View From A Grain of Sand” is finally being offered to PBS stations to show in March, to coincide with International Women’s Day on March 8. What might help local stations to air the film is if they hear from people who say they want to see it.

VIEW FROM A GRAIN OF SAND

Shot in refugee camps of Pakistan and the war-torn city of Kabul, three remarkable Afghan women lead us through the maze of Afghanistan¹s complex history, informing this examination of how international interventions, war and the rise of political Islam have stripped Afghan women of their freedom over the last thirty years. Combining verité footage, interviews and rare archival material, this evocative film is a harrowing, thought-provoking and movingly intimate portrait of a still divided and brutalized nation. Addressing timely issues of women, Islam, and US foreign policy, the film is a compelling and vital addition to the global dialogue of our times.

  1. My local PBS channel has noted the request and have shared with their programming department for future scheduling. I plan to followup with them sometime next week.
