My Journey Through War and Peace
Explorations of a young filmmaker, feminist, and spiritual seeker
A young American woman talks her way into the war in Afghanistan with a camera and almost no idea what she is walking into.
What she films, and what it costs her, becomes a search for meaning that reaches far past the front line.
A fearless, intimate memoir about courage, becoming yourself, and the long road from war to peace.
Chapter 1 · Afghanistan Ambush
On the dirt floor, seven bearded 19- to 20-year-old men, my roommates, slept shoulder to shoulder, swaddled in brown wool blankets. Their antiquated Soviet-made Kalashnikov AK-47 automatic rifles rested by their sides, the triggers in safety-lock position. These Afghani freedom fighters had spent the previous night planning a surprise morning attack on a Soviet caravan. Now they rested, saving their strength. A half moon shone through the open window of the one-room mud house. We were in Kandahar, an Afghan region near the Afghan-Pakistan border that was a front line in the war against the Soviet invasion.
