April 19, 2019: The Afghan Films Left Unfinished & the New Play “Scenes from 71 Years”

This week, we speak with New York-based visual artist Mariam Ghani about her new documentary “What We Left Unfinished“, which is part of a long-term research, film, exhibition and book project centered around five unfinished Afghan feature films shot, but never edited, between 1978 and 1992.

Later in the program, we talk about the new play “Scenes from 71 Years” currently on stage at Potrero Stage in San Francisco. The play offers a snapshot of the life under the grip of the Israeli occupation from 1948 until the present.
