Featuring special guest: Documentary director, Carmela Baranowska, who will be introducing the film and be available for a question and answer discussion after the screening.

This Walkley Award winning documentary, Taliban Country, is a disturbing expose of American actions in Afghanistan. Australian journalist Carmela Baranowska spent three weeks embedded with the Marines. Frustrated by access limitations, Baranowska left the US troops and returned to the Oruzgon Province independently and in secret, accompanied only by a driver, a translator and two armed policemen. During this part of her trip she lost contact with her colleagues in Australia and was reported missing.

The result is a shocking documentary detailing human rights violations at the hands of US soldiers, in an area of Afghanistan where Australian troops are now stationed. The report prompted a US enquiry.
