Two Children of the Red Mosque

In rural Pakistan, near where Osama bin Laden was killed, 12-year-olds Zarina and Talha are pursuing different dreams. Their paths diverge after both attend the notorious Red Mosque Madrassah. While not without hope, their sobering stories illustrate the hard choices between extremism and abject poverty that many Pakistanis must make.
