After the collapse of Taliban regime in Afghanistan, few youngsters are making movies. This is an action movie.

The debut feature film from Afghan auteur Salim Shaheen, shot with an old Z7 camera. “I spent 250 Afghanis (Dh13) making it in black and white with no sound.” He jokes about trying to flog copies for twice the amount it cost him to produce — and discovered that people actually loved it, and bought him out.
