Chasing China’s Tail: The Long Road to Mes Aynak
Medill Assistant Prof. and filmmaker Brent Huffman offers a different look at a country that has been at the epicenter of our overseas national security for more than a decade — Afghanistan. In a new segment of our “Debriefs” series, Huffman offers his insights into how — and why — he has become a champion of saving an ancient Buddhist city in Afghanistan from destruction by a Chinese mining company. And the journalism lessons he’s learned along the way.
