Writer and reporter Eliza Griswold (The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam, Farrar, Straus and Giroux) was in Karachi, Pakistan, conducting workshops sponsored by the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa when Osama bin Laden was killed and the country was thrown into turmoil. She was asked to report on the general feelings and fears of the Pakistani people for the Daily Beast. With brief appearances by novelists HM Naqvi and Joshua Ferris, this short documentary by Ram Devineni provides insights into the complexities of reporting on conflicts and the complexities of extrajudicial assassinations.
The documentary is an exclusive to Guernica Magazine and produced by Rattapallax in association with the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.
