Intrigued
by the tale of one woman's journey across Afghanistan to save
her friend, Mohsen Makmahlbaf risked entering the country
to research his screenplay. Nafas leaves her refuge in Canada
to brave the Taleban regime in an endeavour to ensure her
sister's survival. A vibrant plea for women, and for humanity
in general.
