The Fruit of Our Labor – Afghan Perspectives in Film, Screening and Presentation

The response was so positive to the films we showed on Monday that we have decided to show the rest (and repeat a few of the favorites) at a screening next Friday, February 3rd, at 7:30pm at the Benton Library in Belmont.  Please spread the word.  Admission is free with a suggested donation of $10 to help continue CSFilm’s work.

Many thanks to Belmont World Film and Ellen Gitelman for organizing this screening!

Please donate to Community Supported Film

Please support our training and education work.  Audience members have stated repeatedly that watching The Fruit of Our Labor, even after 10 years of media coverage, was the first time they heard Afghans voices and saw more than fleeting views into Afghan life.  We depend on your donations to continue this work.

ON THE MEDIA | Disrupting Journalism: How Platforms Have Upended the News, Columbia Journalism Review

After decades of shrinking revenues, and an increasing expectation among consumers that journalism should be free, the global media industry has reached a crisis point. As legacy news outlets shut down or lay off staff, misinformation and conspiracy theories run rampant, blurring the line between fantasy and reality. Trust in our institutions of governance continues to decline, fueling an alarming rise in extremism and political violence across previously stable democracies. In the Global South, the impact of journalism’s decline has been even more striking, with the rise of a new generation of autocrats skilled in manipulating the online conversation to suit their consolidation of power.
