When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, taking a photo was a crime. After the regime fell from power in 2001, a fledgling free press emerged and a photography revolution was born. Now, as foreign troops and media withdraw, Afghanistan is left to stand on its own and so are its journalists.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
A piercing, poignant and — as befits its subject — beautifully composed exploration of the challenges and responsibilities faced by photojournalists in Afghanistan’s post-Taliban free press.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
The film’s four-person shuffle turns into a bit of a hash.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
The filmmakers' approach is inherently positive.
The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
Frame by Frame is a work of profound immediacy, in sync with the photographers’ commitment and hope.
