As a photojournalist, Massoud Hossaini became the first Afghan to win the Pulitzer Prize for a photo he took in the immediate aftermath of a brutal terrorist attack in Kabul in 2011.

The story behind the photo and the sense of responsibility Massoud felt in telling Afghanistan’s story from an Afghan perspective is both heartrending and inspiring.

In this episode, Massoud talks about the perils of photojournalism in Afghanistan, why Afghanistan’s sudden fall into the hands of the Taliban was both preventable and unsurprising, and what the future might look like for him and the country he loves.

This is an insider’s take on both the fall and future of Afghanistan.
