In 2002 Pakistan’s population was caught between two wars. To the north the US was pressuring the Pakistani government to help in the abolishion of the Taliban regime, while to the south they were caught in a game of ‘chicken’ with India and Pakistan’s weapons pointed at each other.

I lived in Pakistan for four months and met the Men, women and children of the country. It was a short time for me who had the luxury of entering and exiting the country as I wish, while they were caught in two wars that were not theirs.

These are the men I met.
