DESCRIPTION:Walkley-award winning investigative reporter & filmmaker  Carmela 
 Baranowska  screens:  "TALIBAN COUNTRY"  Monday, March 7th, 7 pm  New 
 College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia St, SF  In May/June 2004, 
 Walkley-award winning investigative reporter Carmela Baranowska was 
 embedded with U.S. Marines in one of the most dangerous and remote parts of 
 Afghanistan, beyond the reach of UN and aid agencies.  Frustrated by the 
 limitations imposed on what she could report, Baranowska decided to travel 
 back to Oruzgon Province independently of the U.S. Marines and Afghan 
 militia that she had journeyed with up to that point. Western media outlets 
 reported her kidnapping by the Taliban; a 'fact' the documentary dispels.  
 More importantly, Baranowska's footage offers disturbing first-person 
 accounts of the treatment being dealt Afghans by U.S. Marines in the war on 
 terror and has led to the opening of two U.S. military investigations. For 
 more info on the film visit http://www.talibancountry.com  “She went 
 back, unescorted, into Taliban country and got quite a different story of 
 perfidy and brutality. That's courage and determination, and perhaps a lot 
 of luck that she got out alive.”  — The Australian  $5 donation at the
