5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, great DVD, April 2 2003

By	Jason "jasonsensei" (Osaka, Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As strange as it seems, this movie benefited greatly from the 9/11 attacks in America and the subsequent exposure the oppresive Taliban regime received in the media. While this movie was shot in and around Afghanistan refugee camps in Iran, it shows what life was like for many in Afghanistan prior to the events of 9/11.
Based on a true story, the film follows an Afghan refugee (living in Canada) who attempts to travel from the Iranian border to Kandahar to rescue her sister who intends to kill herself at the next full moon. However the true story is about the journey itself, not the destination. Along the way we meet many Afghani's toiling to survive, and a few foreigners who have come to Afghanistan for different reasons. The cast features no professional actors, mostly actual Afghanis.
The DVD has great picture and sound quality, including a very insightful commentary by, and documentary about the lead actress... whom the whole story is originally based upon.
This is not a movie for those looking for a military action piece. This is a beautiful, thoughful, evocative film about a country with deep traditions that is quickly deteriorating.
