This project was produced as part of the International Human Rights Series, to be distributed to institutions, schools and colleges, and made available to as wide a public as possible, at a time when the US-led invasion had made Afghanistan, once again the focus of an international power struggle. The portraits and narratives of The Victor Weeps convey the tragedy of Afghan refugees exiled by a former war. They illustrate that faith can create conflict as well as offer comfort, but that justice can only be served if peace is the ultimate goal.
