What an amazing experience! I had no idea. The world has certainly changed in the short years since you were there and I am really enjoying learning more about how things used to be. Beautifully written!
Thank you, MK. It does seem like such a short time ago, and the world really has changed in that time. (Although anyone who is older than 60 could probably say that!)
Deja Vu - Illuminating Afghanistan - & especial thanks re the two music clips..
Will indulge with headphones a bit later without distractions - You’ve reset or perhaps it’s more - enhanced my growing sense of this fierce land.. I’ve known of since starting to read at three years of age.. that’s 69 years of Afghanistan’s History only ! Political Failure & criminal level Deceit & extreme Obstruction spurred renewed study on my part.. & obviously contemporary Cinema is all over this political phenomena - we saw ‘Mission Kandahar’ last night.. stunning cinematography ! (but not spoilers otherwise ! 🦎🏴☠️🐫)
The film is a New Release - I understand now it was primarily shot in Saudi Arabia, mainly due to a stunning 40% Cash Rebate on offer.. hardly unusual. At some point I’ll be uploading several tales from the world of motion picture production & post .. but was a mere ‘minnow’ if even that’ ! You’ll find two stunning Documentaries I’m ‘spotlighting’ on my site - both under 10 minutes or so.. & unforgettable - neither have anything to do with Afghanistan .. but via another ‘stack I came across a brilliant visit to The Khyber Pass & can up that to you one way or another if you’ve yet to spot it
One of the Docu’s is from your part of the world & expect you & husband may appreciate accordingly.. if you’ve never seen it. Aside from Koyaanisqatsi - Dark Side Of The Lens - Mickey Smith is likely my most referred or shared Film & via youtube, an Official Vimeo Copy easily accessible
Sooo many memories have been stimulated by your recollections. Did you ever hear Usted Malang who played the tabla. He was amazing....
No, I don't remember him. I will have to check him out now.

I haven't seen or heard of the movie, but the landscapes of Afghanistan are stunning!
