From internationally acclaimed director Mohsen Makhmalbaf comes an epic tale of hope and courage. Kandahar is a fiction/documentary hybrid, charting a woman's perilous journey through Afghanistan to find her sister.
Nafas (Nelofer Pazira), an Afghan-born journalist living in exile in Canada receives a letter from her sister, who was maimed by a landmine and left behind during the escape, about her intentions to end her life.
Despondent over her oppressed and hopeless situation in Taliban-controlled Kandahar, she vows to kill herself during the last eclipse of the century, which happens in a mere 3 days. Desperately racing against time, Nafas sets out on a perilous journey into a land where it's illegal for women to travel alone...
Before Sept 11, few knew of Kandahar; few cared about the ravages of civil war and Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Now the world sees the news value in Mohsen Makmalbat's true tale of a woman crossing the desert incognito to find her sister. Even without the headlines, this Iranian film boasts a visual and emotional magnificence.
