Wednesday. March 12 @ 7pm, Bloor CinemaRETURN TO KANDAHAR
Paul Jay, Nelofer Pazira, Canada, 64 minutes
Wednesday. March 12 @ 7pm, Bloor CinemaNelofer Pazira, whose story inspired the feature film "KANDAHAR", returns to her native Afghanistan to find her lost friend Dyana. With co-director Paul Jay, Nelofer travels to Kabul, Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif, to find a country devastated by years of conflict and by America's 'war on terror' - and once again ruled by warlords and drug-barons. Nelofer's search takes her on an epic journey across a broken land. She visits the scene of her childhood, the graveyard of 'Al-Qaeda' fighters and finally the city, where Dyana and her family are reported to have sought refuge. She has returned home to a decimated Afghanistan, a violated land, where a thousand Dyanas are lost in rubble, dust and memory.
