Video Diaries

War, Lives and Videotape

Photojournalist Nick Danziger is no stranger to the horrific suffering and imagery of war. Two years ago in Kabul, Afghanistan he discovered a group of orphans, abandoned in a derelict asylum, growing up among chained inmates. He resolved then to try and have them removed to a safer, more secure environment. His video diary is the remarkable story of what happened when he returned to negotiate the children's release, and is a shocking portrait of a city under siege and devastated by a forgotten war.
