Beyond the Veil

Ruth Fremson has reported on the 2000 presidential campaign and the execution of Timothy McVeigh. She has covered the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and NATO occupations of Kosovo and Bosnia.

Covering the war in Afghanistan is a triple whammy of sorts for Ms. Fremson: being a Westerner, a photographer and a woman.

In "Beyond the Veil," Ms. Fremson offers a glimpse of Afghan and Pakistani women laughing, crying, praying, studying, tending to their children and struggling to survive. Join Ms. Fremson as she introduces "amazing people that are never seen."
