Rating: 3/4 --
The documentary makes up in humane values what it lacks in sociological depth.

Rather than ignore our new neighbors, it's time we take the sweet loaf and jelly mold next door...and listen to what's going on through a different set of eyes. It's films like "Afghan Stories" that will hopefully begin to act as an educational icebreaker

Afghan Stories is a rewarding and almost essential look at the other side of terrorism: it's not just the United States that feels the pain.

Running a little under an hour, this remarkable film accomplishes a great deal, drawing an important connection between what both Americans and Afghans were experiencing in the wake of 9/11, while turning a sharp eye to the intertwined futures of both cou

Product Description:
When the United States responded to the September 11th attacks by invading Afghanistan and ousting the ruling Taliban, it was only another year of strife in a land that had undergone two consecutive decades of war and struggle. This documentary by Taran Davies and Walied Osman puts faces on the pain by introducing viewers to members of the Afghanistan population, including a generation who have never known peace but have not lost hope. Interviews with Afghan royal family members who were tortured by the Taliban, aid workers, and peace activists are only some of the proud people of this ravaged nation that is determined to prosper again.
Description by Vanguard International Cinema:
Meet a member of the Afghan royal family once tortured by the Taliban, a refugee couple stuck in no man's land, a revered elder dedicated to peace and his soldier son, an international aid worker, US soldiers and Afghan warlords. Afghan Stories takes us on a daring journey through Afghanistan in the midst of the US invasion with filmmakers Taran Davies and Afghan-American Walied Osman. The film exposes the extraordinary life experiences of ordinary people coping with turmoil as the world comes down on their country once again. The US war on the Taliban is only the latest in the series of 24 years of war and tyranny. But amazingly the new generations, who have never known peace, still have hope and dream of a future lived in prosperity and peace.
