Connexions Calendar

Afghanistan Outside the Wire with Scott Taylor


October 21, 2010


Free, public lecture and film screening. All welcome. War Correspondent Scott Taylor will be providing a preview of his upcoming documentary "Outside the Wire." The film is a compilation of interviews and experiences from Taylor's five unembedded visits to Afghanistan since January 2007. His most recent visit was in February 2010, and on that trip he met with Afghan Warlords, Taliban clerics, foreign aid workers, international Ambassadors and even a would-be suicide bomber being held in a Kabul jail. The views of these various subjects are widely divergent, but collectively they paint a picture far bleaker than the clinical statements provided by NATO spokespersons from inside their protected compounds. Taylor is a regular columnist with the Chronicle Herald and the editor of Esprit de Corps magazine.

Time: 7:00pm-9:00pm
Venue: Haliburton Room, Arts and Administration building
Location: University of King's College, 6350 Coburg Rd. Halifax, NS
