In the eyes of the Afghan girl

It all began with a simple photograph of a young girl found in a refugee camp whos eyes captivated the world in a story of pain, love, and hope. The film was how the photographer after seventeen years went back to Afghanistan in search of the girl that covered the pages of the well known National Geographic Series. He searched Afghanistan with the help of other refugees that lived there starting with returning to the school it all began. He worked with the United States government by using top technology to find out her eye tissues and other features that only a conputer can discover. After many meeting with other women claiming to be her they call fell short in the end they never turned out to be her. Until finally in a small village living in a small shack like estate he came across the Afghan Girl. The photographer took many pictures and compaired them to the one in which he first took, the original. After months searching it was worth while. Her eyes still like emralds glistening in the sun. She was arranged into a marraige at the age of thirteen and now has four children trying to survive in everyday life like every other person. All she asked in return was for people to know both pain and love that the people of Afghanistan have for their country.
