His first and last -indeed the best., 3 September 2004
Author: Unknown_Master from United Countries of the Earth

The movie "Fire dancer" was Jawid's first and last feature. He was murdered few months after compilation of the film. It indeed was a lost of the Afghan-American community.

The movie as described in plot summary revolves around the Afghan-Americans and their battles with the new culture.

The film has a lot of tragedy and some comedy (just like the directors life).

It's shot very professionally and edited in its best.

Acting is very good...even amusing, because its everyone's first time.

This is the first movie that was nominated for Oscars.

This is the third Afghan-American movie (after "The Fear" and "In the Wrong Hands") that is made in Hollywood standard.

Afghans have been releasing some great movies recently. The future of Film-making looks bright for the Afghan community.

8/10- Based on Hollywood Standards.
