Program Note
Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf takes his digital camera to the border villages between Iran and Afghanistan, where he focuses on children studying in UNICEF classes. Despite the end of the Taliban regime, the director discovers that these children are still facing serious problems. With his film, Makhmalbaf puts this question to Western society: can eliminating the Taliban through military action alone solve Afghanistan’s problems?
