For the latest podcast Ali spoke to foreign affairs writer and photographer David Pratt about the film 'Pictures From Afghanistan', which is showing at the Glasgow Film Festival on 1st March. Directed by Robbie Fraser, the film is based on David's time spent in that country over a 40-year period. He talks about that time, how he came to be in country, the complex and often dangerous nature of the job, how it has changed over the years, his other assignments, and why Afghanistan holds a special place in his heart. All of this and a whole lot more, this is a conversation with someone who has seen and done more than most, and the film is a fascinating insight into a culture and people about which we still know little.
