Journalist Ursula Meissner wants to shake us up about Afghanistan
and help its people. Her photographs and stories tell of a land at a
crossroads, of the magic of an unknown country and the horror of
recent events, as well as of the bravery of its women; from the roses
and fields of poppies at the foot of the Hindu Kush to a pair of red
high-heeled shoes that are a symbol of hope. Even after decades of
violence Afghanistan has preserved its magic.
