| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | “My country fights a war in my father’s country. And I look on with a growing <br/>sense of confusion.” So Ariel Nasr begins his powerful new documentary, Good <br/>Morning Kandahar, which gives poignant voice to the dilemmas <br/>felt by thousands of young Afghans around the world – many in surprising <br/>places – as they grapple with events in their homeland.<br/><br/>Good Morning Kandahar introduces us to young <br/>men and women torn between a deep desire to help Afghanistan and fear that <br/>things will never change. Some are enthusiastic. There’s ‘Dewa’, who <br/>broadcasts pop songs, recipes and beauty tips to Kandahar on RANA-FM. And <br/>Yahseer. who enjoys the freedom of Canada’s nightlife, but by day broadcasts <br/>to tradition-bound Kandahar – mostly good news, plus warnings to keep back <br/>from NATO convoys.<br/><br/>The film grows darker when we meet Najia, who grieves in exile for her <br/>country. A refugee, she was once a broadcaster at a women’s station in <br/>Afghanistan – until a death threat forced her to flee. Meanwhile, at a NATO <br/>training camp in Alberta – complete with a re-creation of an Afghan landscape <br/>– role-players wear fake Taliban beards and enthuse about riding in tanks. <br/>Here we also find Sharif, a young translator haunted by the wars he witnessed <br/>– and upset by Afghan friends who call him a traitor for helping the Canadian <br/>military.<br/><br/>Amidst all the conflicting opinions, Nasr decides to see for himself. He <br/>travels to Afghanistan, where he learns many feel that NATO is just another <br/>invader, finds little improvement in life, and comes to think that Canada’s <br/>mission is failing.<br/><br/>Good Morning Kandahar is a moving and rich <br/>film that brings a badly needed personal perspective to a painful controversy.<br/><br/>Good Morning Kandahar was produced as part of the Reel <br/>Diversity Competition for emerging filmmakers of colour. Reel Diversity is a <br/>National Film Board of Canada initiative in partnership with CBC Newsworld.<br/><br/><br/><br/> |
