Documentary Chronicles Mir Hussain’s Life Over 25 Years of Afghan Conflict
Mir Hussain, a Hazara boy living in Afghanistan's Bamiyan valley, has been documented over 25 years by British filmmaker Phil Grabsky. Beginning in 2001, shortly after the US invasion to topple the Taliban, the films capture Mir's life amid conflict and change, from childhood in caves near destroyed Buddhas to adulthood. The series offers a rare, personal perspective on Afghanistan's recent history and the impact of prolonged war on one family and community.
