From November 2023 to July 2024 I served as FAO Afghanistan’s Head of Communications, Strategy and Resource Mobilization. I plan to write about it and will edit this post soon. For the time being, here is a short movie shot by Barmak Akram that we edited together into a 6 minute teaser.

It follows me as I travel through Northern Afghanistan speaking with farmers about climate change and what can be done to adapt to it/mitigate its effects.

Barmak is a great filmmaker; he shot this on a new iPhone and barely intervened in my natural activities, managing to catch everything on the fly. We’d like to make a full length movie on climate change in Afghanistan…
