- Get our colleagues out of Afghanistan
- Support those in Afghanistan and neighboring countries
- Advance the refugee cases of those evacuated to Europe, and to
- Advocate the US government to follow through on its obligations.

New Online Training Program in Documentary Filmmaking
CSFilm is developing new training programs and working with Afghans in Afghanistan and those displaced on documentary filmmaking training and mentoring.
One major initiative stemming from this work is the creation of a fully online asynchronous training program in documentary filmmaking. The work to create comprehensive training videos and online resources is budgeted to cost just over $100,000 dollars. It will be usable for years to come.
