Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The extraordinary experiences of ordinary Afghan citizens come to the screen in filmmaker Taran Davies' intimate account of life on a never-ending battlefield. From the harrowing experiences of a member of Afghan royalty tortured by the Taliban, to the efforts of an elder to work for peace as his son fights an ongoing war, the inspiring stories of the population that has endured 24 years of tyranny and war -- some of whom have never known peach within their lifetimes -- play out as U.S. forces reign destruction upon the southwest-central Asia country in their determined attempts to take down the dreaded Taliban.
