I was very disappointed with this film. An excellent chance to portray the plight of the Afghan people was partially wasted.
Aside from a few interesting glimpses of the culture of the Afghan refugees, this film has few redeeming qualities. The scenes are contrived, the plot is sparse, and the acting is wooden. The crew would have been much better off filming a true documentary.
