An 
company.
This film really shows Afghanistan in a fresh and moving way. Beautifully shot and expertly edited it made me laugh and moved me to tears. Yes, I worked on it! But 11 awards and cinema shows & TV sales around the world agree me!! The last thing we want are boring TV docs with wall to wall narration and 'expert' interview. Come off it! We want art that translates real life experience into emotions that pour from cinema screens around the world. Check out the web-site www.seventh-art.com to see how much praise the film received from the international press. And where you can see or buy the film yourself. There is too much junk cinema around so you guys have got to support the film-makers like Phil Grabsky trying to make a difference.
