Afghanistan: A Glimpse of War, officially opens Friday at the Canadian War Museum. Drawn from the work of two Canadian journalists who provided much of the material, the year-long show inevitably raises questions about news coverage as war propaganda in a politically fraught mission whose outcome remains uncertain. "The exhibition itself is not political," Andrew Burtch, the museum's lead historian for the show, said Thursday during a media preview. "Everyone has their own opinion and we actually invite them to share their opinions in the gallery," he added, gesturing to pencils and paper placed at small kiosks around the exhibit. "We're interested to hear what people have to say because it's their history and it is something that is ongoing. There are debates going on around kitchen tables and workplaces and, no doubt, people will bring that with them into the (exhibit) space. "When they see the stories, they will react to them in their own way. But one way or the other, we're not trying to tell them what to think." It's a brave endeavour: hosting an exhibit, in the shadow of Parliament Hill, based largely on the work of journalists, while the conflict still rages overseas and Canadian soldiers are suddenly being investigated for allegedly beating prisoners - a development that could once again whipsaw deeply divided public opinion. Stephen Thorne, a Canadian Press reporter and photographer, and freelance documentary filmmaker Garth Pritchard anchor the show with their work from a series of assignments in Afghanistan covering Canada's early military deployment. As veteran journalists, they're both acutely aware of the perceptions and biases that news consumers apply to the media. They know those biases will follow patrons into the magnificent national war museum. "It could go one way or the other, depending on what people want to take from it," said Thorne. "I hope that people will come into this with an open mind and that they'll leave with something more than they came in with - that they're educated and informed by what they see and read here and that it will inform their decision, one way or the other, about ow they feel about Canada's role in Afghanistan." The exhibition, said Thorne, is not "designed to push them one way or the other. I think people will see what they want to see here - like they often do - and they'll take from it what they want to take from it." Rather than focusing on the many combat deaths and injuries that consume daily newscasts, the exhibit provides a bracing reminder of the roots of Canada's military involvement in Afghanistan, then traces the conflict through its small personal victories, heroics, tragedies and losses. A large newspaper editorial cartoon of an angry beaver growling, "Bring it on, Osama" conjures the public mood in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Photographs of black-eyed Afghan workers illustrate daily survival in a war zone. A dun-brown TAC-50 sniper rifle awes with its cool, deadly modernity. Video of a young, badly burned Afghan lad being attended by Canadian soldiers in his home is almost too difficult to watch, and unrelieved by a postscript noting he died the next day. The exhibit ends with a slide show of candid photos of the 44 Canadians killed to date in the conflict - happy family snapshots that are achingly sad. Thorne and Pritchard show tremendous respect - and in turn earned it themselves - for the Canadian soldiers they covered, but they have little time for those critics who say you can't support Canada's troops while questioning the mission. "Should we question what they're doing and how they're doing it? Every day, I hope," said Pritchard. "If it saves one Canadian life, it's worth it. I'm hoping that people come through little bits that we can show them - and when they leave they will realize what it's cost us. And yeah, they should question it." Thorne agrees, but ultimately comes down to a bottom line that's definitely not part of the official war museum exhibit. "I can tell you that if all of NATO pulled out right now, Afghanistan would be a bloodbath." ---------- MAY 5 - SAT, Children's Spring Art Festival, CA Northstar School on collaboration with Barakah Life warmly invite you to attend the Children's Spring Art Festival May 5th, 2007, 11:00 - 4:00 Join us for a beautiful day of family & community fun.

We celebrate the completion of our feature length documentary, POSTCARDS FROM TORA BORA. At the height of the Cold War, the Osman family frantically escapes from Afghanistan while leaving almost everything behind. In the ensuing chaos,their only suitcase filled with family photos is stolen. Now after two decades of living in America, Wazhmah Osman, a young Afghan-American woman returns to her childhood home. Armed only with rapidly fading memories,she recruits some unlikely and reluctant guides to put together the pieces of her past. On an alternately sad and humorous quest, she encounters confused cabbies, the enthusiastic former minister of the tourism bureau, a museum director that archives land mines, and a group of angry street vendors. As Wazhmah desperately searches for any tangible evidence of her former life, the journey leads her to many unexpected places. Amidst the rubble and destruction, she finds her estranged father who in the aftermath of war choose his country over his family. On the road, Wazhmah frequently finds herself at a strange intersection where cultures clash, indenities are mistaken, and the past violently collides with the present. The World Premiere will be at the 6th Annual Tribeca Film Festival, April 25 - May 6, 2007! Purchase tickets now through the Tribeca Film Festival at www.tribecafilmfestival.org. Check out the synopsis and watch the trailer on www.postcardsfromtorabora.com and we hope to see you at the festival!

Zolaykha's Secret was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival and many other other film festivals around the world. We have a great opportunity to see this award winning film in San Francisco. The showtimes are: Saturday May 5th @ 5:45pm at the Kabuki - 1881 Post Street (at Fillmore) Sunday May 6th @ 5:00pm at the SF MOMA - 151 3rd Street (Mission & Howard) Tuesday May 8th @ 4:25pm at the Kabuki - 1881 Post Street (at Fillmore) To read more about Shansab and this film please go to the SF Foreign Film Festival's Website where you may also purchase tickets. You may drop this link in your browser: http://fest07.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=123 Horace Shansab’s remarkably assured and deeply humane feature debut is a moving story about a close-knit family trying to survive under vicious and oppressive Taliban rule. The family builds a home in the rural mountains, hoping to live a peaceful life beyond the Taliban’s reach, but still must contend with cultural oppression, gender inequality and the harsh realities of the natural world. Banned from attending school, youngest daughter Zolykha delights in her siblings’ company and looks adoringly up to her father. At night she endures disturbing, clairvoyant dreams in which she is visited by apparitions—military invaders from different eras of Afghani history— who roam the war-torn mountains. These forewarnings partially herald the incursion of the Taliban into the family’s life. Yusuf, a volatile Talib, has his eye on the family’s eldest daughter, and the father’s fight for her honor sets off a tragic series of events including the children’s attempt to reach the city under the uncertain guidance of a Taliban defector. Filmed entirely on location under difficult conditions, and imbued with the warmth of Afghan music, imagery and rhythm, the film offers a rare glimpse into Afghani life under Talib rule. "I hope Zolykha’s Secret reminds its audience that they were all once children," Shansab says, "and that the lives of the poor, the voiceless, and the desperate are just as precious and sweet as their own."

Through his Afghanistan Dental Relief Project, Dr. Rolfe will be bringing a portable dental clinic to Kabul in September of 2007. Putting much of his time (beyond his regular dentistry) and money behind this project, Rolfe has personally designed and transformed a 320- square-foot shipping container into a shippable dental treatment clinic. This small space has been converted into three rooms, a sterilization area, and a lab area for manufacturing dental prosthetics. In addition, Rolfe will also be sending two separate containers that, in all, include an additional 120,000 pounds of essential dentistry equipment and supplies. This portable dentistry clinic, when it opens, will be the only volunteer dental facility currently established in Afghanistan. At 67 years old, Dr. James Rolfe has a well- established dental practice in Santa Barbara. Several trips to Afghanistan in the last few years have inspired him to do more to help change the dental conditions afflicting the Afghan people. During Dr. Rolfe's first visit, he worked day and night for three weeks providing dental services at an orphanage and the larger community in the province of Wardak. This was followed by a second visit, where he served for two weeks at a women's clinic in Kabul. These treks made Dr. Rolfe acutely aware of the dire need for dental care in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has only 134 dentists serving a country of approximately 30 million people. The need for dentistry in the country is made poignant by the fact that many people Rolfe helped had never even owned a toothbrush, much less visited a dentist. While the portable dentist clinic is ready for shipment, there is still much more to be done to ensure the Afghanistan Dental Relief Project becomes a reality. Beyond shipping the project to viable land in Kabul, Dr. Rolfe also seeks to establish a training facility next to the dental clinic to train orphans and widows as dental assistants, hygienists, and laboratory technicians. This project seeks to not only provide dental services to the people of Kabul but also to give them an invaluable skill. Once this is accomplished, Dr. Rolfe plans to establish a permanent treatment center in Kabul and to move the portable clinic to another area of need. The Afghanistan Dental Relief Project is asking for your support to ensure that this effort succeeds. Today you can make an immediate difference to help improve the health and well- being of the people of Afghanistan by making a tax-deductible donation to ADRP. You can also make a valuable contribution through volunteering at ADRP for a variety of tasks. For more information on how you can help, please visit www.adrpinc.org , e-mail to adrp@verizon.net, or by calling (805) 963-2329. ADRP is a 501C3 non-profit charity. We thank you for your time and hope you will be able to generously support the Afghanistan Dental Relief Project.
