US lawmakers heard testimony from survivors of an alleged US drone strike in Pakistan today. Three Pakistani citizens appeared before lawmakers, where they described the attack that killed their 67-year-old mother and grandmother last year. The briefing was set up by Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), and the family hoped to get answers about the attack from Congress.

I made this video using photographs i took while on my trip in Pakistan this winter. all the pictures were taken from inside a car or bus. none of the photos have been edited (on purpose) The whole trip was like a dream. I have been dreaming of Pakistan since i last visited in 1997. Pakistan as a memory was a blur of colors and happiness for me, but very distant. I find that my unedited, washed out photos evoke this sort of dream state and the fact that all these photos are taken from within a vehicle, sometimes you see the window of the car and sometimes you see a reflection in the glass. These little moments create a barrier between the viewer and what is being viewed, just as dreaming, one can never fully recall a dream or memory. This video is to be projecting on a hand dyed cloth. niazk.com
