The Land of the Enlightened

2016 · M · War

In the wild Afghan mountains, a group of children dig up old Soviet mines to sell, recycle weapons and keep control on the caravans smuggling opium while American troops prepare to leave the war-torn country. In this seamless blend of fictional and documentary form, we experience a cinematic journey into the beauty of war-tormented Afghanistan.

Directed by: Pieter-Jan De Pue

Featuring: Gholam Nasir, Khyrgyz Baj, Zulfu & Noor
