Horrified by the 9/11 attacks on America, filmmaker Taran Davies and Afghan American, Walied Osman, set out for Afghanistan to observe how the Afghan people have survived 24 years of war. They meet a member of the Afghan royal family once tortured by the Taliban, a refugee family stuck in a one-room apartment, a revered Muslim elder, an aid worker and a warlord. A unique and intimate film, Afghan Stories documents the torment, resolve and dreams of a people whose lives have been torn apart by war.

Boring
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
