# Film Exploring the Future of Afghanistan Comes to DVD 

Janson Media today announced the worldwide DVD release of the powerful film *[The Afghan Solution](http://www.janson.com/dvdcatalog/2012/11/21/afghan-solution-the/)*(1 x 60')*.* The first film of its kind, *The Afghan Solution* is the story of a people left behind by their newly minted government. Produced by Cowgirl Media, the film both documents the formidable challenges faced by the Afghan people, and poses viable solutions to the conflict in Afghanistan, as told by Afghans themselves. As [announced](http://www.janson.com/wp/2013/01/04/new-film-candidly-addresses-the-afghan-experience-directly-with-those-that-live-it/) earlier this month, *The Afghan Solution* is also [available](http://www.janson.com/rights/2012/10/12/the-afghan-solution/) to worldwide television, VOD, digital platforms and non-theatrical markets.

Examining the history behind the current conflict in Afghanistan, *The Afghan Solution* exposes the results of broken commitments and ever changing military strategies. It is a powerful and informative warning about the dangers of imposing a centralized authority on a complex and multi-ethnic nation. This film is a wake-up call: Afghanistan can either move toward a true democracy or once again fall into the clutches of the cruelest tyranny in its history - the Taliban and al Qaeda.

Told from the streets of Kabul, the mountains of the northern tribal regions, and halls of Congress, *The Afghan Solution* is the only film to investigate the conflict by talking to the people who have lived it. It is a story told by Afghan politicians, citizens, warlords, and tribal leaders, as well as American Special Forces, NATO"s ISAF brass, UN Mediators, and NGO personnel. This candid account of a fragile nation-building experiment is essential viewing for everyone, from students and scholars to policy makers, veterans, scholars, human rights campaigners, and American voters.

*The Afghan Solution* is Josie Maynard of Cowgirl Media"s documentary debut. Previously Josie created, directed and produced a traveling wine show, *Planet Wine* for One Media Television; as well as educational shows promoting healthy eating for children, *Kids Cook TV*. [Cowgirl Media Inc.](http://www.cowgirlmediainc.com/) is a collaboration of independent filmmakers, journalists, advocates and storytellers.
