Event Description:
What happens when the war is “over”? Emmy Award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Anne Poiret explores the critical but often overlooked phase that follows armed conflicts: the after. Drawing on over a decade of field reporting from Iraq, South Sudan, and beyond, she examines how journalists can—and must—document post-war realities: the search for the missing, reconstruction efforts, transitional justice, and the long road to memory and healing.
This presentation will also introduce AFTER WAR, a multimedia initiative that aims to break down indifference towards these post-conflict periods, as well as foster greater collaboration with journalists and fixers in affected countries, and researchers specializing in these issues.
Moderated by Séverine Autesserre, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University
