the Friday Night Video Potluck at Flor y Canto:

"Jung : In the Land of the Mujaheddin" with guest speaker from the Italian Emergency organization, Marco Rambaldo

As the bloody offensive against Fallujah continues and the US gets mired deeper in the war on Iraq, it's a good time to remember what really happened in Afghanistan, just a few years ago.

Gino Strada, an Italian surgeon, knows war too well. It's 1999 and, following the murder of a UN worker, all aid agencies have abandoned Afghanistan. The Taliban and the Northern Alliance are 'fighting like rabid dogs, without coming to a conclusion'. The need is desperate: surgical facilities for the tens of thousands of civilians wounded by bullets, shells, shrapnel and landmines, are, when they exist, primitive and filthy. Rarely is anaesthetic available. It's the 'usual shit', as Strada says.

The film is sometimes shocking because it shows what modern weaponry does to the human body. We also see that, for the survivor of a landmine explosion, the consequences and the anguish of disability, are often worse. Yet Jung also shows that there can be hope, even in the most wretched circumstances, It's a story of sanity and compassion in the midst of devastation.

Winner of the Golden Lion Award for best documentary, Italy 2001
