Im Vorfeld findet eine Führung durch die Ausstellung "Journeys in Afghanistan - Photography by Steve McCurry" statt

In 1985, the haunting picture by Steve McCurry of an enigmatic Afghan refugee girl with startling sea-green eyes graced the cover of National Geographic Magazine and captivated the world.

Now years later, the search is on to find the nameless woman whose youthful image became a global symbol of wartime dignity, resilience, and survival.

The documentary provides a unique insight into everyday life in Afghanistan today, as well as telling the remarkable story of one woman and her family. It provides a stark contrast to the TV news footage of a war torn country.

Travel with us to the Afghan-Pakistan border with Steve McCurry the photographer who took this world-famous picture as he attempts to track down his anonymous subject once again.

Follow clues and rumors through the twisting byways of a teeming refugee camp on a mission to solve this mystery. Follow the amazing story of how the National Geographic team has searched for the mystery girl with the green eyes.
