An Afternoon with Lynsey Addario: Picturing Afghanistan
Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario discusses her experience covering Afghanistan for 20 years - - what life was like, especially for women, during the Taliban's rule, how life changed for women in the 20 years she's been covering the country, and how Afghans are reacting now. She will also share powerful images that she captured.
In conversation with award-winning interviewer Steve Edwards, formerly of WBEZ and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.
Presented in partnership with multiple Illinois libraries, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley University, and Peoria Area World Affairs Council.
