What happens when the war is "over"? Emmy Award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Anne Poiret explores the critical but often overlooked phase that follows armed conflicts: the after. Drawing on over a decade of field reporting from Iraq, South Sudan, and beyond, she examines how journalists can—and must—document post-war realities: the search for the missing, reconstruction efforts, transitional justice, and the long road to memory and healing.

This presentation will also introduce AFTER WAR, a multimedia initiative that aims to break down indifference towards these post-conflict periods, as well as foster greater collaboration with journalists and fixers in affected countries, and researchers specializing in these issues.

Moderated by Séverine Autesserre, Political Science. 

Co-sponsored by the Alliance Program, the Columbia Journalism School, and the Saltzman Institute of War & Peace Studies.
