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 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.
