If you follow the news and like living in a democracy, The Journalism Film Festival is a chance to get together with friends, classmates or co-workers and celebrate the vital contribution journalism makes in our lives….or it’s just a good time to get out of the house and watch a movie on a big screen.
We’re proud to present “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” – Introduced by CTV Kitchener
Based on the 2012 memoir “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” by Kim Barker.
In 2002, cable news producer Kim Barker decides to shake up her routine by taking a daring new assignment in Kabul, Afghanistan. Dislodged from her comfortable American lifestyle, Barker finds herself in the middle of an out-of-control war zone.
This festival is presented by ink-stainedwretches.org and partners Grand River Film Festival; World Press Freedom Canada; CBC-KW; CTV Kitchener; Mike Farwell and CityNews; and the Waterloo Region Record. For more info, see journalismfilmfest.com.
