Synopsis
A stunning look at Afghan daily life in Kunduz, a city in the Afghan war. The story of five young Afghans: Mirwais, a 10 year old boy, who defines war and peace with the words of a child. Nazanin, 18, fights for women's rights as a local radio reporter while wearing a burqa. Hasib, an activist for democracy, who becomes disillusioned while preparing the Afghan elections. There's Ghulam and Khatera, who are shooting their first film in the middle of the conflict – the outcry of a young generation of Afghans. All five struggle hard for their goals and dreams, while living in daily fear of Taliban attacks and the consequences of the foreign military’s presence. Having witnessed a devastating NATO air strike in 2009, the people of Kunduz display a growing reluctance to trust foreigners. Nevertheless, my team and I preferred to meet the local population rather than to be 'embedded' with ISAF forces.
