Three Songs for Benazir (2021)
Most incredible short doc this Oscar season
16 March 2022 - 8 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Three Songs for Benazir is an incredibly intimate film about young love in the midst of ongoing turmoil in Afghanistan. Set for the most part in a refugee camp, the film conveys so much and is an essential watch for anyone who has any interest in Afghanistan. With the Taliban takeover last year, this film couldn't be more relevant.
Told through the perspective of Shaista, a young man (still a teenager), we understand what aspirations can be in the most challenging of circumstances:-- how it can break you, and that life, ultimately, is a struggle.
Elizabeth and Gulistan Mirzaei have created a beautiful poem and ode to the people of Afghanistan.
