Norwegian freelance journalist Paal Refsdal, kidnapped a week ago in eastern Afghanistan was released Thursday along with his Afghan interpreter, the AP reported. Refsdal was in Afghanistan filming a documentary for a Norwegian production company with funding from the Norwegian Film Institute.
The documentary — “Den Andre Siden,” or “The Other Side” — proposed to “follow three Afghans from a perspective not yet shown in Western media,” giving “a better and more nuanced picture of Afghan society, but on the Afghans’ terms.”
