Innocent Heart (2014)

Innocent Heart centers on Kabir, a 12-year-old boy who is naively manipulated by insurgents into planting an IED that kills three people, including his best friend and brother-in-law. This six-part television series, which was also adapted for radio, had as its target audience Afghan communities most vulnerable to insurgent activity. With a strong focus on counter-insurgency messaging, the story line also reinforced why better infrastructure, education, peaceful transition and democratic principles strengthen community capacity and offer a better future.
