Few Americans have any real notion of what life is genuinely like for ordinary Afghan citizens. We receive snippets of information here and there but they only give us small pieces of material…not really sufficient for forming a whole picture. One way or another, from the time that the soviets invaded in the late 70s during the Carter administration, to the senseless, unimaginable horror of watching the newsreels of Taliban destroying the Buddhas of Bamiyan in 2001 to later the same year when the US invaded, news from Afghanistan has been popping up sporadically for three decades. It was very intriguing indeed to learn about a documentary the premise of which is to follow the life of an Afghan boy for a ten-year period.
