A Flickering truth

Pietra Brettkelly (2015)

The film documents the remarkable true story of exiled filmmaker Ibrahim Arify as he returns to his native Afghanistan, to restore 8000 hours of lost Afghan films, a medium outlawed by the Taliban government.

Unearthing dusty reels of film, some dug out of collapsing barns, others hidden in ceilings and many discovered by pure chance, Ibrahim must also deal with people too scared to act after so many years of oppression.

In Dari with English subtitles.
