There are people who complaint about lack of plot in this movie. The plot was lives and hopes of people in Afghanistan. Anyone who expects an entertaining story from a semi documentary movie like this has missed the whole point: this movie was made to educate westerners about the suffering of Afghanis and to put a human face on the people who are nothing but statistics in the west. If you want entertainment do not watch this movie!
I loved the exquisite cinematography. Every frame was beautifully composed with a great deal of symbolism and poetry (like the UN flag ending up with the corpse in the desert, a reference to the UN lack of concern for Afghanistan in the past 22 years)!
We westerners react shockingly to this movie and think how a country can be so backward in this day and age; ignoring the fact that our governments had a lot to do with their backwardness.
